Earlier, Rajamouli had bagged the Best Director Award for 'RRR' at the New York Film Critics Circle. Rajamouli defeated the likes of Steven Spielberg, Darron Aronofsky, Sarah Polley, and Gina Prince-Blythewood to take home the big prize.
However, it is important to mention that 'RRR' was not picked as India's official entry for the Oscars 2023. The film was a raging success at the box office in India and it emerged as one of the highest-grossing films in the country. 'RRR' had released across the globe in multiple languages -- Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.
The movie had quite an audience when it started streaming on Netflix and many A-list Hollywood stars have appreciated the Telugu film for its scale and ambition.
The movie was Rajamouli's first project after the 2017 smash-hit 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion'. Apart from Ram Charan and Jr NTR, 'RRR' also starred Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Olivia Morris, Samuthirakani, Alison Doody, and Ray Stevenson.
