Hyderabad:Ram Charan and Jr NTR floored moviegoers in West after their blockbuster film RRR released digitally. Adding to the buzz, Hollywood’s awards season has found an unlikely underdog in RRR. The film won best original song at the Golden Globes for the exuberant Naatu Naatu and has five Critics Choice Awards nominations, including for best picture.
To give their film a final push, Rama Rao Jr. and Charan traveled to Los Angeles to walk the Globes grey carpet, mingle with the likes of Cate Blanchett at parties, and attend packed screenings for potential awards voters, including one at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood that featured a riotous dance party during the Naatu Naatu scene. One question that was frequently asked to Ram Charan and JR NTR in Los Angeles was whether they would like to expand their horizon and work in Hollywood.
When asked what are the goals in terms of being in Hollywood, Ram Charan in an interview said, "I mean, it’s always there. Like I said, it was not part of our goal to come to LA, but we landed up here. So we are taking it as it goes. And of course, we want to experience the great directors of LA and Hollywood, and I want them to also experience us as actors and share some cultural ideas and stories between the East and the West. I would love to explore it, of course. And (Tarantino) is one of my favorite directors."
