SS Rajamouli’s period action epic ‘RRR’ continues its winning streak in the West, as the Telugu film has now bagged four major nominations at the 6th Annual Hollywood Critics Association Awards. These include SS Rajamouli being nominated for Best Director and the Ram Charan and Jr NTR starrer being nominated for Best Picture, Best Action Film, and Best International Film.
Reacting to this achievement, the official Twitter handle of the movie wrote, "The nomination spree continues! #RRR bags 4 nominations at the #HCAFilmAwards! @HCAcritics Thank you so much Jury for recognising #RRRMovie”.
Last week, ‘RRR’ secured four nominations at the inaugural HCA Creative Arts Awards. These included Sreekar Prasad for Best Editing, Srinivas Mohan for Best VFX, M. M. Keeravaani for Best Original Song - Naatu Naatu, and King Solomon for Best Stunts.
The HCA Creative Arts Awards will take place on February 17, whereas the HCA Film Awards will be on February 24. The blockbuster film has already been named the special HCA Spotlight Award recipient, which will be presented along with the HCA Film Awards.
In July earlier this year, the movie was named the runner-up at the Hollywood Critics Association Mid-season awards losing out to ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’. However, the Indian film defeated Hollywood heavyweights like ‘The Batman’ and ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ to win the second-best title.
Now, all eyes are on the Oscars 2023 nominations which will be announced a month later on January 24 and the 95th Academy Awards will take place on March 12 next year. There are strong chances that ‘RRR’ will receive at least a couple of Oscar nominations for Best International Feature Film and Best Original Song.
