A lot is being said about director SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which was released in March this year. NTR and Ram Charan headline this epic action drama, in which they were seen as Komaram Bheem and Alluri Sitaramaraju, respectively. The movie went on to become the biggest hit of the country this year, and has even taken the international audience by storm, with the international seemingly not getting enough of the film.
There’s a huge Oscars buzz surrounding the film, with a petition even having been filed on Change.org, a popular online place for petitions, to send the movie to the Oscars from India. With there being no official confirmation from the Indian Jury regarding this yet, and RRR being one of the top contenders for the Oscars this year, everyone is hoping that this will actually come to pass.
The movie is expected to be nominated in a number of categories, including for Best Actor and Best Director. Whatever category the movie may be nominated in, if the film makes it to even a single nomination then it would be a huge achievement for the Indian film industry on the whole, and to Tollywood in particular.
