SS Rajamouli's RRR selected for Oscar, 'The Chello Show' got entry in this category
95th Academy Awards: It is a matter of great pride for Indian cinema that two films have been shortlisted for Oscars 2022. In these, apart from SS Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’, there is Gujarati film ‘Chello Show’ i.e. ‘Last Film Show’. Rajamouli had worked hard to get his film an entry in the Oscars. The film created a lot of panic in the country and abroad when it was released. It was sent for nomination in Oscar’s ‘Best Feature Film’ category, but for some reason it was not selected then. After this, the makers started a campaign regarding the film and RRR was submitted for nomination in 14 categories.
