SS Rajamouli, Jr. NTR and Ram Charan along with music composer MM Keeravani were in attendance for the awards night. Following the win, they won Best Foreign Language Film and Best Song for RRR and ‘Naatu Naatu’ respectively at Critics Choice Awards.

In a recent interview with Variety, Jr NTR opened up on why RRR was not selected as India’s official entry for the Oscars. He said, “I don’t think there is a lot of politics going on with what films should go. I think the panel, which is sitting down there knows what they do the best… Hindi has primarily been a national language for a very long time and that’s why it has taken prominence. For us, choose RRR or don’t choose RRR, RRR has already made us proud.”

Ram Charan, Jr NTR and Rajamouli are back in Hyderabad after promoting the movie in LA as ‘Naatu Naatu’ has been shortlisted for Best Original Song at Oscars 2023.

On the work front, Jr. NTR will soon begin shooting for his next NTR 30 which will be directed by Koratala Siva of Janatha Garage. The film is scheduled to release on April 5, 2024. He also has NTR 31 on the cards which will be directed by KGF director Prashanth Neel.
