Anurag Kashyap is currently busy promoting his film with Taapsee Pannu titled Dobaara. During one such interview with film critic Baradwaj Rangan, he spoke about India’s greatest chance at the Oscars, SS Rajamouli’s RRR.
Although Anurag openly stated that he did not particularly enjoy RRR, he said that RRR is India’s best chance at the Oscars. He said, “I did not think that RRR was SS Rajamouli’s best work, I think Eega, Magadheera, and Baahubali are better but I think it has a brilliant chance at the Oscars. If it is India’s official entry, there is a 99% chance that it gets nominated.”
He further justified his claims by saying, “I say this because the West is going mad over RRR. I have spoken to a lot of my Hollywood friends and they absolutely love the film. They love even the silly things about the movie. To them, they have discovered a new filmmaker in SS Rajamouli. The craze for RRR there is mindblowing, it will definitely be nominated if it is sent. I hope they send RRR and not Kashmir Files.” he added.
He also showered high praises on the South Indian Film Industry throughout the interview. He spoke about how Allu Arjun’s Pushpa and Yash’s Rocky Bhai are household names now. Anurag also added that Bollywood has lost that connection with audiences. When asked about some of his recent favorites, he said that he loved Pushpa: The Rise.
