New Delhi:
RRR continues to roar on the international stage. From winning a Golden Globe for the song “Naatu Naatu” to being nominated for the 2023 Oscars, SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus is unstoppable. So what’s the latest update? RRR won the Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) award for Best Stunt. In his acceptance speech, Rajamouli thanked his entire team who worked hard for 320 days to make this film. Rajamouli said, “A big thank you to all the members of the Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) who felt RRR had the best stunts. Thanks very much. I must first thank my choreographer who put a lot of effort into performing all the stunts. juji [stunt master] helped them with some of the climax action sequences. And to all the other choreographers who worked really hard and came to India and understood our vision. They adapted their working style to our working style and delivered what we had today.”
SS Rajamouli also revealed that most of the stunts were performed by his “wonderful actors” Jr. NTR and Ram Charan. He added, “In the myriad of action shots throughout the film, there were barely 2-3 shots where we used body doubles. The actors performed each stunt. You are wonderful boys. It’s the combined effort of the whole team. I would like to thank my entire team for that. We put 320 days of hard work into making this film, most of which was taken up by the stunts. And this recognition means a lot not only to me and my film, but also to the Indian film industry. Hope we have those wings to keep flying.”
The video was shared by RRR’s official account on Twitter. The accompanying text read: “Here is SS Rajamouli’s acceptance speech for the #HCAcritics Award for Best Stunts. Congratulations to our entire team.”
