'RRR' secures no place in BAFTA Nominations; Oscars Nominations awaited
"RRR," directed by SS Rajamouli, failed to secure a nomination in the "Best Non-English Picture" category at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards
HYDERABAD: The highly-anticipated Indian film "RRR," directed by SS Rajamouli, failed to secure a nomination in the "Best Non-English Picture" category at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards. However, the Indian documentary "All that Breathes" by Shaunak Sen has been nominated for the "Best Documentary" category in the 2023 BAFTA awards. But, the fans are keen on witnessing the film securing nominations at the Oscars.
"RRR" recently made history by being the first Asian film to win the "Best Original Song" for its popular number "Naatu Naatu." Despite this achievement, the film's failure to be nominated for a BAFTA award may come as a disappointment to its creators. But the film is still in the running for the 2023 Oscars.
Other films nominated for the "Best Film Not in English" category at BAFTAs include "All Quiet On The Western Front," "Argentina, 1985," "Corsage," "Decision to Leave," and "The Quiet Girl."
"All that Breathes" will be competing against "All the Beauty And The Bloodshed," "Fire of Love," "Moonage Daydream," and "Navalny" in the "Best Documentary" category.
The BAFTA nominations were announced by actors Hayley Atwell and Toheeb Jimoh. The awards ceremony will take place on February 19 at the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall.
RRR is directed by SS Rajamouli. NTR, Ram Charan, Olivia Morris, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt and others were a part of the movie. DVV Danayya bankrolled the film.
