RRR stars NTR Jr., Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody and Olivia Morris. It centres around two real-life Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem, their fictional friendship and their fight against the British Raj.
Meanwhile, RRR left the Indian community and the diaspora with a bittersweet feeling as it bagged one award out of two nominations -- Original Song Naatu Naatu but failed to secure the trophy for Best Motion Picture Non-English. Rajamouli's blockbuster lost the Best Motion Picture Non-English award to the Argentine film Argentina, 1985.
