“I just watched RRR recently, and I thought the film was incredible. Ram Charan and NTR Jr are amazing, so if I were lucky to work with them, that would be fantastic,” said Hemsworth, praising the performances of the leading stars of SS Rajamouli’s epic drama. RRR has garnered global acclaim and dominated award shows, including winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Golden Globe for Best Original Song. Although Hemsworth has already collaborated with an Indian actor, Randeep Hooda, in the original Extraction film, he expressed his interest in working with more Indian talents. In Extraction 2, Hemsworth will reprise his role as Tyler Rake and share insights into his physical and mental preparation for the character.
“I was coming on the back of Thor, so I was in a bigger shape than I would have been in the first film. So aesthetically, there was a lot more muscle I was carrying. But I had to very quickly adapt to what was required for Extraction 2. It was all about functionality, flexibility, and a lot of movement. I worked with Sam Hargrave and the stunt team, and the rehearsals kind of became my training,” explained Hemsworth. The actor enjoys immense popularity and a dedicated fan base in India. His recent film, Thor: Love and Thunder, garnered much love from Indian audiences. Hemsworth even shared videos on social media showcasing the massive crowds that gathered in cities like Ahmedabad and Mumbai to catch a glimpse of him during the film’s shoot.
