Right from its release, SS Rajamouli’s RRR has been unstoppable across the globe. The film was released in March 2022 and is achieving something new with each passing day. RRR has been garnering acclaim across the globe, with accolades and nominations at several prestigious awards shows.
Continuing the same, BAFTA has unveiled the longlists across all categories for its 2023 Film Awards, and SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus RRR has scored one nomination. The film has now made it to the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) shortlist. It has earned a spot in the “Film Not In the English Language” category. Additionally, Delhi-based Shaunak Sen’s “All That Breathes” has received one longlist nod in the “documentary” category.
The BAFTA Film Awards have revealed their longlists in 24 categories. Surprisingly, despite campaigning at the BAFTAs since last month, Alia Bhatt’s period drama Gangubai Kathiawadi has received no nominations. Bhansali promoted Gangubai Kathiawadi overseas in front of several international award committees. However, the film did not receive the award and thus missed out on BAFTA and Academy Award nominations.
Meanwhile, RRR will be competing against “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Argentina, 1985,” “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths,” the Cannes 2022 Grand Prix winner “Close,” “Corsage,” “Decision to Leave,” “EO, “Holy Spider,” and “The Quiet Girl.”
