NTR Jr arrived in LA a few days back and even attended a screening of RRR followed by a reception at the DGA theatre. Currently, he is attending the Golden Globes ceremony with director SS Rajamouli and team. The historical magnum opus RRR has been nominated in the Best Picture - Non-English and Best Original Song (for 'Naatu Naatu') categories at the Golden Globes.
"RRR" follows a pre-Independence fictional story woven around two real-life Indian revolutionaries - Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem - in the 1920s. It also stars Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn in key roles. Released theatrically last March, the film raised reported earnings of over Rs 1,200 crore at the global box office.
The lavishly mounted period epic is the first Indian film in over two decades to be nominated for the Golden Globe awards. In the 'best picture–non English segment', “RRR” will face off with Korean romantic mystery film “Decision To Leave”, German anti-war drama “All Quiet on the Western Front”, Argentine historical drama “Argentina, 1985”, and French-Dutch coming-of-age drama “Close”.
The film’s Telugu track “Naatu Naatu”, composed by veteran music director MM Keeravaani and penned by Kala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj, has been nominated in the 'original song–motion picture category'.
