Ahead of the 2023 Oscars, S. S. Rajamouli’s RRR is having a nationwide re-release in the USA. In a tweet, distributor Variance Films confirmed that they would screen the Action Epic in over 200 theaters in the country, starting March 3.
However, another few reports hint that the film will get the ‘world’s largest screening’ on March 1 — billed as the ‘RRR Fan CelebRRRation Live,’ which will be held at The Theatre in Los Angeles, US. That event will have actor Ram Charan, director Rajamouli, and music director M. M Keeravaani present at the venue. RRR received an Oscar nomination for its dynamic dance track ‘Naatu Naatu,’ in January in the category of Best original song.
The distributor also ensured that the RRR re-release would be screened completely in Telugu, the original language. Netflix serves as the leading distributor of the film on streaming services, but the included version is not present in Telugu. Even in India, RRR is available in Hindi dubbed version on Netflix, another OTT giant Zee5 offers the original version.
Responding to replies to their tweet, Variance Films confirmed that more theaters will be added in the list, as long as the demand is strong. “Some just doing shows that weekend. But the more tickets we pre-sell by Monday, the more shows we’ll end up with…”, they said.
RRR is a fictional narrative of two revolutionists, who set to reunite forces and fight back for their freedom in the 1920s British rule. The film opened to critical and commercial applause from both Indian and Western crowds, and was re-released multiple times. The film turned into a tremendous Pan India blockbuster, as well as it was flooded with so much appreciation.
