Few days ago, FFI announced Chhello Show (Last Film Show) as India’s official entry to the Oscars. Many people were disappointed for not considering SS Rajamouli’ magnum opus, the blockbuster drama RRR starring Young tiger Jr NTR and Mega Power Star Ram Charan. The hope for an Oscar nomination is still alive as the makers are pushing RRR in 14 categories under ‘For your consideration (FYC) campaign. The movie has been submitted to the Academy for nomination in all prominent categories,
The categories in which RRR has been submitted are Best Picture (DVV Danayya), Best Actor (Ram Charan and Jr NTR), Screenplay, Best Director (Rajamouli), Score, Cinematography, Sound, Editing, Original Song, Production Design, VFX to list a few. Alia Bhatt will compete in the Best Actress category, while Ajay Devgn will compete in the Best Supporting Actor category. Naatu Naatu has been submitted in the Best Original Song category. We need to see how the campaign will work out.
RRR, which is bankrolled by DVV Danayya under the banner of DVV Entertainment, also has Alia Bhatt, Olivia Morris, Shriya Saran, Ajay Devgn, Samuthirakani and others in the important roles.
95th Academy Awards are scheduled to occur on 12th March, 2023, in Los Angeles.
