SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus RRR that has got international acclaim including Golden Globes and Critics Choice Award has now got appreciation from veteran American actor Jane Fonda. She included the film in her list of movie recommendations on Instagram. However, she called RRR a ‘Bollywood’ film, and many Instagram users took it upon themselves to tell her it is a ‘Tollywood’ film.
Fonda shared a poster of RRR and in the caption, she wrote, “On the complete opposite extreme of the last film I recommended, To Leslie, here’s another new one that took me by surprise: RRR, an Indian movie that’s short listed in the Best Foreign Film category. It’s a combination of Indiana Jones, a serious film about imperialism and Bollywood. I was transfixed. @rrrmovie.”
Soon after her post, Internet users corrected her by saying, “Its Tollywood 😊 but we can stick to Indian 😊.” Another user schooled Fonda, “Not Bollywood, though. Bollywood refers to Hindi language movies.” A comment also read, “It’s a remarkable movie! But sorry to say, it’s not Bollywood. 🙏🏽.”
RRR won a Golden Globe in the Best Original Song category for the song “Naatu Naatu”. The film also earned praise from popular filmmakers, James Cameron and Steven Spielberg. Now all eyes are on the Academy Awards nominations, which will be announced on January 24.
