As it is known, the makers of ‘RRR’ are now hell-bent on pushing the film for an Oscars nomination as they joined the FYC (For Your Consideration) campaign and sent out 14 nominations for the Oscars in various categories including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Song and many others. The most interesting one is definitely sending Alia Bhatt’s name in the Best Supporting Actress category.
While Best Film, Best Actors, Best Screenplay and Best Direction can be understood, a lot of people are scratching their heads over nominating Alia Bhatt for the Oscars. Alia is a very good actress and there is no denying that fact but her role in ‘RRR’ is very small. All she has is one scene where she explains Ram’s backstory to Bheem. There is no other prominent scene of hers in the film. It is safe to say that Shriya and Alia had almost the same screen time in the film and Olivia Morris comparatively had more than the two Indian actresses.
Alia played a lot of beautiful roles in her career and her performances in ‘Raazi’, ‘Gangubai Khatiawadi’ and others are award-worthy. But sending her name for the prestigious Oscars, especially for Sita’s role in ‘RRR’ is a bit silly according to me. While they have sent 14 nominations, getting at least one nomination itself is considered as a huge achievement. Let us wait and see if it happens or not.
‘RRR’ is produced by DVV Danayya on a budget of over 400 crores. The lead actors delivered stupendous performances and MM Keeravani is the music composer who is one of the main pillars in the film’s success. NTR will be seen as Komaram Bheem while Ram Charan plays the role of Alluri Seetha Ramaraju in this massive film which is set in the backdrop of the pre-Independence era.
