India's RRRMovie an unlikely underdog in the Hollywood awards race
S.S. Rajamouli's three-hour maximalist action epic is one of India's most expensive and top-grossing films of all time. It pairs two of the country's biggest stars, N.T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan, and topped Netflix streaming charts over the summer.
To give their film a final push, Rama Rao Jr. and Charan traveled to Los Angeles to walk the Globes gray carpet, mingle with the likes of Cate Blanchett at parties, and attend packed screenings for potential awards voters, including one at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood that featured a riotous dance party during the"Naatu Naatu" scene.
AP: The movie was a big success when it opened in India, but it's been a slow burn in terms of Western audiences catching on through word-of-mouth and watching it on Netflix. How have you experienced that? AP: Ram Charan, you were in production during at least part of that time on your next movie. How were you sort of staying in touch with your"RRR" brothers?
RAMA RAO JR.: Rajamouli as such, I really don't think he makes movies because he wants to send out a message. For him, it's just storytelling and it's about making entertainment ... To tell this story, he's picked up a time frame where India was being ruled by the British Empire. Yeah, simple. So other than that, there was no message to it.
