SS Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’ wins Best International Film at Hollywood Critics Association Awards

SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘RRR’ continues to roar overseas. After winning a Golden Globe for the song ‘Naatu Naatu’, the Ram Charan and Jr NTR starrer has bagged four awards at the Hollywood Critics Association Awards. It won the Best International Film along with 3 other awards – Best Action Film, Best Stunts and Best Original Song for ‘Naatu Naatu’.

Director Rajamouli, in his acceptance speech while receiving the Best Stunts award, thanked his entire team who put in 320 days of hard work to make this film. Rajamouli said, ‘A big thank you to all the members of the Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) who thought

'RRR' had the best stunts. Thanks, alot. I must first thank my choreographer who has put in lots of effort to execute all the stunts. Juji [stunt master] helped them with some of the climax action sequences. And, to all the other choreographers who worked really hard and came to India and understood our vision. They changed their working style to suit our working style and delivered what we had today.’

This is a huge achievement for the period drama ahead of the Oscars 2023 where ‘Naatu Naatu’ has been nominated in the Best Original Song.

‘RRR’ narrates the story of the tribal leader Komaram Bheem, and the revolutionary Alluri Sita Rama Raju. It is set in pre-independence India and explores their friendship and highlights their fight against oppression.

The film’s ensemble cast includes Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, Makarand Deshpande, and Olivia Morris, among others.
