The SS Rajamouli-directed epic, RRR, may not have been nominated at the 96th Academy Awards this year, but it still managed to make a heartwarming appearance during the ceremony.
While RRR's presence at the 2024 Oscars wasn't in the form of nominations, these inclusions demonstrate the film's continued international recognition and its impact on the action and musical aspects of cinema.
Ram Charan and Jr. NTR fans were delighted to see the surprise appearance of RRR at the Oscars 2024. RRR got featured in two distinct segments of the prestigious award show.
A Tribute to Stunt Performers: A special montage celebrating the vital role of stunt coordinators and performers in filmmaking showcased a thrilling action sequence from RRR's climax. This segment aimed to celebrate the invaluable contribution of stunt performers to international cinema. The inclusion of the RRR clip highlighted the film's impressive stunts and the dedication of the stunt team behind them.
A Reminder of Last Year's Historic Win: When presenters took the stage to announce the winner for Best Original Song, the background displayed visuals from last year's winner, RRR's energetic and now iconic song, "Naatu Naatu." This subtle acknowledgement served as a reminder of the song's global impact and its historic win at the 95th Academy Awards.
