As it is known, the makers of ‘RRR’ are now hell-bent on pushing the film for an Oscars nomination as they joined the FYC (For Your Consideration) campaign and sent out 14 nominations for the Oscars in various categories including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Song and many others. The most interesting one is definitely sending Alia Bhatt’s name in the Best Supporting Actress category.
While Best Film, Best Actors, Best Screenplay and Best Direction can be understood, a lot of people are scratching their heads over nominating Alia Bhatt for the Oscars. Alia is a very good actress and there is no denying that fact but her role in ‘RRR’ is very small. All she has is one scene where she explains Ram’s backstory to Bheem. There is no other prominent scene of hers in the film. It is safe to say that Shriya and Alia had almost the same screen time in the film and Olivia Morris comparatively had more than the two Indian actresses.
Alia played a lot of beautiful roles in her career and her performances in ‘Raazi’, ‘Gangubai Khatiawadi’ and others are award-worthy. But sending her name for the prestigious Oscars, especially for Sita’s role in ‘RRR’ is a bit silly according to me. While they have sent 14 nominations, getting at least one nomination itself is considered as a huge achievement. Let us wait and see if it happens or not.
‘RRR’ is produced by DVV Danayya on a budget of over 400 crores. The lead actors delivered stupendous performances and MM Keeravani is the music composer who is one of the main pillars in the film’s success. NTR will be seen as Komaram Bheem while Ram Charan plays the role of Alluri Seetha Ramaraju in this massive film which is set in the backdrop of the pre-Independence era.

Varanasi Faces IMAX Challenge Ahead of 2027 Release
Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli, is already being regarded as one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2027. Following the global success of RRR, trade experts expect the film to enjoy a phenomenal overseas run. However, one factor that could influence its international box office performance is the competition for IMAX screens.
Unlike many films that undergo IMAX conversion after production, Varanasi is reportedly being designed and filmed specifically to maximize the IMAX format, promising a premium cinematic experience. However, the release window is shaping up to be highly competitive in international markets. Hollywood blockbusters such as Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, scheduled for March 26, 2027, and Panic Carefully, releasing on April 9, 2027, have already secured IMAX releases. More major studio films are also expected to join the calendar, increasing competition for premium large-format screens.
Since IMAX and other premium screens generate a significant share of revenue for event films, limited screen availability in key overseas markets could slightly impact Varanasi’s earning potential. While the film is unlikely to face issues in securing standard screens, the allocation of IMAX screens during its April 7, 2027 release period will be an important factor that the makers will be closely watching.
The situation is equally interesting in India, where the number of genuine IMAX theatres remains limited. Although several multiplexes promote IMAX auditoriums, only a handful offer the complete IMAX experience. This has led to discussions about whether additional IMAX screens, particularly in major cities like Hyderabad, could be introduced before Varanasi reaches theatres. With the film promising a visually spectacular experience, expanding premium-screen infrastructure could benefit both audiences and exhibitors. How the IMAX landscape evolves over the coming months will be crucial in determining the film’s premium-format reach.
