RRR’s Srinivas Mohan to get nomination for Oscar nomination in the Visual Effects category?

A top publication has predicted that filmmaker SS Rajamouli's RRR is likely to get an Oscar nomination in the Visual Effects category.

The well-known filmmaker SS Rajamouli, who has delivered huge hits like Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion in the past, is yet again roaring under success as his movie RRR earned over Rs 2000 crore at the box office internationally this year. This movie is a work of genius and features actors namely Ram Charan, NTR Rao Jr, Ajay Devgn, and Alia Bhatt in key roles. As per latest media updates, a leading publication has predicted that SS Rajamouli's RRR will likely earn an Oscar nomination in the Visual Effects category.

The popular international tabloid recently stated that Srinivas Mohan would likely be one out of five nominees in the Visual Effects category for his work on RRR. As per to the top tabloid, Top Gun 2, Avatar 2, Black Panther 2, and The Batman will be the other nominees in this category.

Yet, there is no official confirmation of this development yet.

Alia Bhatt's stunning first look as Sita in SS Rajamouli's magnum opus RRR!

On the occasion of lead star Alia Bhatt’s birthday, the makers of Ram Charan and Jr NTR starrer RRR released the first look of the actress from the forthcoming magnum opus. Alia Bhatt will be seen essaying the role of Sita opposite Ram Charan in the movie. The first look has taken social media by storm and once again, the Gangubai Kathiawadi star has managed to grab the attention with her captivating avatar.

We can see that Alia is wearing the same moon-shaped locket around her neck that Ram Charan as fiery Ramaraju was seen wearing in a glimpse from the climax scene? Ram Charan's description of Alia's Sita role also defines the same. Star Ram Charan wrote, "She adds meaning to Ramaraju's mission! Meet my #Sita, a woman of strong will and resolve."

Sita is the epitome of strong will and resolve. From the bindi to her braid and powerful look, Alia's both looks are vintage and strong-willed. SS Rajamouli brings 'fire' Ram Charan and 'ice' Jr NTR to 'rise, revolt, roar' - Alia's Sita look with diyas in the background and hope in her eyes speaks volume of the same.

RRR is slated to release on October 13, 2021.

Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli, who broke numerous records with his work of genius "Baahubali: The Beginning", reveals he is very confident as a storyteller, but has doubts about his filmmaking abilities.

"When I tell a story, I am very confident. I know I can blow people's mind when I tell a story. While making a film... on the editing table, I make changes 100 times. Go back and forth, I am always doubting myself as a filmmaker. But as a storyteller, I am always very sure of myself," the filmmaker told at the ongoing Jio MAMI 18th Mumbai Film Festival with Star.

But the movie's cast members, who were also present at the fest, had only good things to say about Rajamouli.

Actor Prabhas told, "Rajamouli can make shots and scenes better every day...be it on set or in the editing room."

"When I was cast for this part... all the films that I had done earlier always had me playing a dainty character and always very pretty. This one is with a sword, brave and has to fight 6 ft 2 inches tall Prabhas and has to look convincing while doing that. So, now whenever I have to do anything brave, it doesn't stop me. 'Baahubali' has changed the way I look at myself," she told.

The motion poster of "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion" was also launched at the event on Saturday.
