He wrote, Thanks to the jury at @goldenglobes for nominating #RRRMovie in two categories. Congratulations to the entire team…Thanks to all the fans and audience for your unconditional love and support through out.
Alia Bhatt who played a key role shared her happiness on the story section of her Instagram handle by adding heart emoticons. Director Shekhar Kapur shared his best wishes with the director but also expressed his disagreement over RRR being nominated for the best film category in non English language. In his tweet he wrote, "The path to the Oscars for RRR becomes clearer. But I still don’t get why the Golden Globes hold on to a category called ‘Best film in a non English language??RRR deserves to be in the best film category. Period. Congratulations @ssrajamouli."
RRR follows a pre-Independence fictional story woven around two real-life Indian revolutionaries - Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem - in the 1920s. The film was released worldwide in March in five languages - Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi starring Ram Charan Teja and Jr. NTR, Bhatt and Ajay Devgn.
