After he got the award, Rajamouli thanked the jury and the people who came to see his movie for their support. “You have brought a small movie from the south of India to the attention of a lot of people.” He also remembered seeing the people in the theater when his movie came out. “It was pure happiness and amazement, like what the hell we had just seen. “That’s how I want people to feel when they see my shows,” he said. The director also thanked his family for always being there for him.

Even though RRR wasn’t India’s official Oscars 2023 entry, it was sent in as part of a campaign for 14 categories. The song “Natu Natu” has made the shortlist for “Best Song.” In RRR, which came out in March 2022, Ram Charan and Jr NTR play two rebels in India before it became independent.
