- Jr NTR is one of the frontrunners for the Best Actor category.
- RRR has had a tremendous run at the recent Hollywood awards.

In addition to being nominated for a slew of other prizes in the Best International Film category, RRR has had an incredible run at the most recent Hollywood awards, taking home the Critics’ Choice and Golden Globe awards for Naatu Naatu in the Best Original Song category. RRR is anticipating being nominated for several categories, including Best Original Song, for the 95th Academy Awards, which will be revealed on January 24. Actor Jr. NTR is currently one of the front-runners for the Best Actor award, according to a prestigious American magazine.
In the SS Rajamouli film, Jr. NTR portrays the liberation fighter Komaram Bheem, which has been making waves with western audiences. The publication now asserts that Jr. NTR’s performance in the movie must have caught the Academy’s attention and may have contributed to his potential nomination for Best Actor.
“Here are 10 performances from deserving folks we hope are remembered in this year’s Oscar race,” mentioned the article, as it went on to rank Jr NTR at the top of the list that also includes names of actors like Tom Cruise, Paul Dano, Mia Goth, Paul Mescal and Zoe Kravitz. Earlier Jr NTR was also mentioned by Variety among their unranked predictions for the 2023 Academy Awards.
Mentioning Jr NTR’s performance in RRR, writer Brian Truitt wrote, “Academy, is it possible to go halfsies on a best actor nod? Because this action-packed musical adventure’s two Indian mega-stars are what makes “RRR” such an audience-friendly powerhouse: Ram Charan’s British army soldier and Rao’s loyal warrior become friends, butt heads as foes and then come back together as a fighting force, with an all-time bromance and an amazing dance-off along the way. If we have to pick, though, the charismatic Rao has the edge for leading an army of wild animals and juggling a motorcycle with ease.”
Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently revealed pictures from a recent RRR screening in the US, where she posed for pictures with director SS Rajamouli and composer MM Keeravani and spoke on stage. Priyanka stated on Instagram Stories, “Least I can do to support the progress of this outstanding Indian film. RRR, SS Rajamouli, MM Keeravani, Ram Charan, Jr. NTR, Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Prem Rakshith (choreographer), Kala Bhairava (singer), and Chandrabose (lyricist) are all to be congratulated and given good luck.
Since it was re-released in US theaters and began streaming on Netflix last year, the western public have loved RRR, starring Jr. NTR and Ram Charan. Numerous Hollywood luminaries, including the Russo Brothers and Steven Spielberg, have praised the movie and its song Naatu Naatu, which most recently won the Golden Globe for best original song, besting artists like Taylor Swift and Rihanna. Team RRR has been actively promoting the movie in Hollywood and plans to be nominated for numerous Oscars in 2023.
