RRR, the film by SS Rajamouli, keeps roaring on the world stage. During the Hollywood Critics Association Film Awards on Friday night, the movie starring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR won four prizes. At the Hollywood Critics Association Film Awards, Rajamouli’s masterpiece defeated Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick” after taking both Critics’ Choice and Golden Globe awards. The action epic won awards for Best Action Film, Best International Feature, Best Original Song, and Best Stunts.

In his speech after the Best Action Film win, SS Rajamouli said, “I think I need to go backstage and check…I think I’ll be starting growing wings already…with the second one! Thank you so much it means a lot! I can’t express in words how much it means…”

He continued, “This is the ‘Best Action Film’ (award), we won the ‘Best Stunts’ (award), but probably the ‘Best Stunt’ (award) was for the best stunt choreographer…and…I really would have loved to have the stunt choreographers here to see this because I think that is the team that works so hard and puts their life on the line to entertain us. I think I’ll take this opportunity to ask all the major awards to make a special category for the stunt guys….stunt choreographers, they really, really deserve that! This is for all the stunt choreographers, not only in my country but across the world who really work hard to entertain us all.”

Rajamouli, in his acceptance speech for Best International Film, dedicated the win to his fellow filmmakers and said, “It is for all of us to believe we can make international films. Thank you to HCA for that, it means a lot. Thank you very much again. Jai Hind.”

MM Keeravani performed a song with lyrics adapted from Send In The Clown by Steven Sondheim when he collected his award for Naatu Naatu.
