Earlier, Variance Films president Dylan Marchetti, who is running the campaign for RRR in the US, said, “The only thing this news changes, is one less award we can go after. There are dozen-plus others we can go for now. This film is the whole package.”

RRR tells the story of a tribal leader’s mission to rescue an abducted girl from higher colonial authorities. He is joined in his quest by a police officer on mission of his own. The film received huge acclaim for its action and dance sequences. The film also features Alia Bhatt, Samuthirakani, Shriya Saran, and Ajay Devgn.
