Jr NTR's Reaction To Indian Jury Not Selecting RRR For Oscars Leaves Foreign Media Speechless

Despite garnering much international acclaim during its campaign for an Oscar nomination, fans in India were disappointed when the jury failed to select RRR to be India's official entry in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the Academy Awards. Months after Pan Nalin's movie, Chhello Show, was chosen for the same by the Indian jury, Jr NTR, an actor from RRR, spoke to the foreign media about the situation.

Speaking to Variety after his movie RRR won the Best Foreign Language Film award at the Critics Choice Awards last week, Jr NTR stated he was proud of his film regardless of the Indian jury's decision to submit Chello Show to the Oscars. When asked what he thought about the selection, he asserted that the 'panel knows the best'. “I don’t think there is a lot of politics going on with what films should go. I think the panel, which is sitting down there knows what they do the best,” he said.
