India’s blockbuster film ‘RRR’ (2022) has now cast its magic globally yet again with back-to-back wins and appreciation from the foreign audiences. Recently the film won the Critics Choice Awards 2023 for the Best Foreign Film in the award ceremony held in Los Angeles and singer Adnan Sami’s congratulatory message is winning the hearts of netizens.
Sami penned, “I’m so happy and overwhelmed by the victory of @RRRMovie at the @CriticsChoice Awards by winning the BEST FOREIGN FILM! Heartiest Congratulations to the entire team. The icing on the cake was the beautiful heartfelt speech by @ssrajamouli ji which touched us all…Jai Hind!”

Earlier the singer got into a feud with a few notable ministers including the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy post the song “Naatu Naatu” bagging the Golden Globes Award for best original song. Sami corrected them by saying that it was not just a regional victory but a national victory and added that on the international platform, we must present ourselves as Indian and not be divided by any form of regional politics. It is also being speculated that post his tweet where he corrected Reddy on how this is a win for the entire nation and not only a specific state of India, actor NTR Jr was seen saying, “This is the country’s win and he is overwhelmed with the love the country has poured in”, in contrast to his earlier regional narrative.
A change of stance was also visibly noticed in the acceptance speech of the film’s director S S Rajamouli, where earlier in a speech he had clearly stated that ‘RRR’ is a Telugu film and not a Bollywood movie. It was being seen as if he wanted to only promote Telugu and South India as opposed to India as a whole. After Sami’s strong stand that internationally it must always be India, which was echoed across the country, Rajamouli, in his acceptance speech clearly changed his stance by saying, “Finally to my motherland India, Mera Bharat Mahan!!”
Adnan Sami, who has worked with all the notable names like Prabhas, NTR Jr, Chiranjeevi, Ajith, Mani Ratnam and many more, recently also shared a video compilation consisting of many popular tracks by him in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam languages and it also got a lot of praise.
