Meanwhile, RRR is one of the most popular film with huge budget. The movie became Blockbuster and is doing very well at Box office. According to RRR's US distributor, Dylan Marchetti, RRR will be submitted in the following categories and therefore there are chances of Oscar Selection even now.

We have seen the film gross over $140 million worldwide to become one of India’s highest-grossing films of all time and become the first film in history to trend globally on Netflix for over 14 weeks."
He further added, "We have seen the film fill up theatres with cheering audiences months after its initial release, including the historic TCL Chinese IMAX theatre in Hollywood, where it will play next Friday to an audience that sold out of one of the largest theatres in the country in just 15 minutes. Most importantly, we have heard fans from around the world tell us that they believe this is one of the best films of the year from any nation. We agree. We proudly invite the Academy to consider RRR in all categories.”
