RRR is not just a film, it is an emotion. When the SS Rajamouli's magnum opus failed to become India's official entry to Oscars, not just Indians but even fans including Don't Look Up Director Adam McKay called it a travesty and urged "let¡¯s make sure it gets a best picture nom." Indeed, the movie has proved to be an international sensation.

With this, SS Rajamouli has kicked off Oscar campaign. He will attend a month-long retrospective of his films at LA's Boyend Fest.
"When RRR released, and I started getting responses one by one, I thought, ¡®OK, maybe there are a few¡¯. But the few went into hundreds, the hundreds went into thousands¡ Story writers, directors, critics, people from different fields were talking highly about RRR. I realised something I never knew about my films. I thought the sensibilities are different, but I realised that the sensibilities can also be similar. I am still trying to understand, to be very frank," SS Rajampouli said about his film that has been praised by celebrities including Scott Derrickson, Edgar Wright and James Gunn.
