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.

Kiran Abbavaram’s Bold Move After Thimmarajupalli TV Setback
Young hero Kiran Abbavaram is currently standing at an interesting crossroads in his career. While continuing his journey as an actor, he recently turned producer with Thimmarajupalli TV. However, the film failed to deliver the expected results at the box office. Despite the team aggressively promoting the movie before release and projecting it as a complete entertainer for all sections of audiences, the momentum did not sustain in theatres. The initial buzz lasted only for the first few days before public talk turned mixed, which eventually affected the film’s overall performance.
Although industry circles suggest that Kiran managed to stay financially safe through non-theatrical deals, the film still could not be considered a clear success from the audience’s perspective. Interestingly, at a time when many actors would normally step back and reassess, Kiran appears ready to take an even bigger risk — this time as a director.
According to reports, Kiran is now preparing to direct a new film titled Reality, a project said to be inspired by real-life incidents and grounded human emotions. The film is expected to go on floors by the end of May. Music composer Bheems Ceciroleo has reportedly already begun music sittings for the project.
In small and medium-budget films, music often plays a crucial role in emotional connectivity, especially in realistic dramas. Understanding that aspect, Kiran seems to be focusing heavily on the musical side right from the early stages. However, the biggest question now is whether the actor, who has already shown promise as a writer, can successfully translate that creativity into direction as well.
During the time of SR Kalyanamandapam, Kiran received appreciation for his involvement in story writing, emotional depth, and scene construction. The film established that he possesses a decent understanding of emotional storytelling. Now, he appears determined to expand that experience into filmmaking direction. But succeeding as a writer and handling an entire film as a director are two completely different challenges.
That is exactly why Reality is now being viewed as a potential turning point in Kiran Abbavaram’s career. While many actors of this generation contribute to screenplay and writing discussions, very few are willing to take full responsibility behind the camera. In that context, Kiran’s decision is undoubtedly a bold one.
Following the underwhelming result of Thimmarajupalli TV, his choice to move forward instead of stepping back is being interpreted in two ways — some see it as confidence in his content and creative instincts, while others consider it a daring gamble. But the film industry has repeatedly shown that failures often become the foundation for reinvention and success.
Now, all eyes are on whether Kiran Abbavaram can convert those lessons into a breakthrough with Reality, or if the film will become yet another challenging test in his evolving career.
