S S Rajamouli’s magnum-opus RRR, starring Jr NTR and Ram Charan, impressed fans across the world. It received appreciation from the West and won a lot of love from Hollywood as well. However, the film was snubbed by the Film Federation of India, who picked the Gujarati film, Chhello Show, as India’s official entry to Oscars 2023. Fans and several other stars have expressed their disappointment on the selection. And now Rashmika Mandanna has reacted to the fiasco. According to the actress, the love RRR has received from across the borders is bigger than anything else.
In an interview with India Today, Rashmika said, “I mean the film is being celebrated and that is amazing. My previous film, Dear Comrade, almost made it to the list and, of course, it did not make it to the actual nominee (list), but the RRR numbers and love that it has received, is something to celebrate.”
