As the race for the Oscars gets intense, filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus continues to make waves on the global canvas with ‘RRR’ bagging four prizes at the Hollywood Critics Association Awards.

The film won the awards of Best International Film, Best Action Film, Best Stunts, and Best Original Song for the Oscar-nominated track ‘Naatu Naatu’, beating the Tom Cruise-starrer ‘Top Gun: Maverick’.

As Rajamouli took to the stage, he was joined by actor Ram Charan to accept the Best International Film award.

“I didn’t expect to come up on stage. I was just told by my director to accompany him. Thank you so much for giving us all this love," Charan said. "It’s a great response, so we are going to come back with better films and entertain you all. Thank you so much.”

With the current momentum and having bagged honours at the Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles this year, all eyes are now set on the film’s run at the Oscars which are set to be held on March 12 the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
