In an exclusive interview with Will Reeve for ABC Channel, South star Ram Charan spoke about the kind of response the blockbuster movie ‘RRR’ (2022) has received.
When the interviewer asked the global star about the “Naatu Naatu” song, Ram Charan spoke about how the song was shot in Ukraine just three months before the war, “We shot for fifteen days at the presidential palace. Ukraine is beautiful. I wanted to visit Ukraine as a tourist after the filming of our film.”
Talking about the Oscar nomination for the song, Ram Charan added, “If the song wins the Oscar, I probably wouldn’t be able to believe it. Someone would have to wake me up and tell me to go on stage to collect it. It is not just our success, it is the Indian film industry’s success.”
The actor sure hopes more films come to the Oscars and Golden Globes. Complimenting director S S Rajamouli for the film, he said how the director told him that films are about emotions. “And this film has all sorts of emotion and connects very well with audiences. His father also worked on the script,” Charan spoke at length.
Ram has always spoken eloquently about India, his director, ‘RRR’ and is truly a global star with his multiple USA appearances ranging from Good Morning America to ABC News. He will be seen at the coveted Hollywood Critics Association today presenting an award, and is the only Indian presenter on this global stage.
