Hollywood actor Jessica Chastain is the latest celebrity to have watched SS Rajamouli's magnum opus ‘RRR’. The actor took to Twitter to express her reaction after watching the film, which has been creating waves in the West, where it has been a huge commercial and critical success. Last year, the film was re-released in theatres across the USA.
Jessica Chastain took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and wrote, “Watching this film was such a party (red heart emoji).” The actor also re-posted a video of the song Naatu Naatu from the movie. The actor won an Academy Award last year for her performance in ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’, and is also a member of the Academy. The official Twitter handle of ‘RRR’ then retweeted Jessica's tweet and wrote, "Jessica, you enjoying RRR made us happy (red heart emoji).”
The movie is in the running for Best Film (non-English) at the BAFTA and Golden Globe 2023. The song ‘Naatu Naatu’ has been nominated for Best Original Song at the Golden Globes and was shortlisted by the Academy for Best Original song. ‘RRR’ has been on the lists of several best of the year lists from film critics worldwide, including in the US. The team has been campaigning for the Telugu film all throughout this current awards season with director Rajamouli attending many raucous, sold-out screenings of the Indian feature.
‘RRR’ has grossed over ₹1000 crore worldwide during its theatrical run and has been particularly celebrated for its breathtaking action sequences.
