Ram Charan, Jr NTR and others from team RRR received invitations to be a part of The Academy

HYDERABAD: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently unveiled its list of 398 new members for the year. Alongside renowned international figures such as Taylor Swift and Ke Huy Qwan, several prominent Indian personalities were also invited to join. What's so special about the list is that it includes prominent personalities from team RRR.

The list includes NTR Jr, Ram Charan, MM Keeravani, Chandrabose, Karan Johar, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Mani Ratnam, Sabu Cyril, KK Senthil Kumar, Shaunak Sen, and Chaitanya Tamhane.

Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang expressed their pride in welcoming these artists and professionals, highlighting their exceptional global talent and significant contributions to the art and science of filmmaking. They are very happy to extend the invitations to more members.

This year, the number of new members is approximately half of previous years as the Academy has scaled back its invitations, focusing on increasing the representation of women and non-white members. So, the Academy has chosen the names carefully.

Membership in the Academy grants these individuals the privilege of voting in future Oscar awards. Currently, the Academy boasts a membership of over 10,000 individuals. If all the invitees accept this year's invitation, the total membership will rise to 10,817.

The fans of NTR, Ram Charan and RRR are celebrating this special achievement of the actors.
