RRR misses out on nomination for BAFTA 2023

SS Rajamouli's RRR failed to make the cut in the final nominations for the 2023 BAFTA awards on Thursday. The movie was in the longlist for the 'film not in English language' category but couldn't find a spot in the segment's final five nominees list. The final nominees of the category were ''All Quiet on the Western Front'', ''Argentina, 1985'', ''Corsage'', ''Decision To Leave'', and ''The Quiet Girl''. The BAFTA snub comes as a rare miss for the film which earlier this month bagged a Golden Globe for best original song for the Telugu track ''Naatu Naatu'' and Critics Choice Awards for best foreign language film and best song.

''RRR''-a pre-independence fictional story, follows two real-life Indian revolutionaries – Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR) – in the 1920s. The 2023 BAFTA award ceremony will take place on February 19 at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall. The film is based on the lives of these two Telugu freedom fighters. Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody and Olivia Morris play supporting roles. SS Rajamouli's RRR has been submitted in 14 categories at Oscars 2023. However, RRR is not India's official entry to Oscars 2023.
