SS Rajamouli’s RRR is making headlines with full force yet again. It was just recently, the maverick filmmaker made a roar by winning the Best Director award at New York Film Critics Circle. Now, the latest we hear is that the film is almost there to getting shortlisted for Oscars 2023. Keep reading to know more.
As most of us know, Rajamouli‘s film wasn’t selected as India’s official entry to the Oscars. Instead, Chhello Show: The Last Film Show was sent from India. This decision, as expected, received mixed reactions with many slamming the selectors for not choosing the film starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR. Those who supported Rajamouli’s biggie felt that the film had the best chance to shine at the Oscars considering its influence on the western audience and media.
Now, as per the report in Variety, it is learnt that Srinivas Mohan, for RRR, might join the list of nominees for the Visual Effects category for Oscars 2023. The film is likely to compete with Hollywood biggies like Top Gun Maverick, Avatar 2, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Batman in the same category. However, there’s no confirmation.
