In a landmark move celebrating the evolution of cinematic storytelling, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has officially announced the inclusion of a new competitive category—Achievement in Stunt Design—beginning with the 100th Academy Awards in 2028. The award will honor stunt excellence in films released in 2027.
The Academy stated, “Stunts have always been part of the magic of movies. Now, they’re part of the Oscars.” The long-overdue recognition comes after years of calls from industry professionals and film enthusiasts advocating for the craft’s acknowledgement at the highest level.
Adding a moment of pride for Indian cinema, the Academy’s official announcement featured an iconic still from S.S. Rajamouli’s global blockbuster RRR, capturing the electrifying scene where Ram Charan’s character charges head-on at a tiger during the film’s high-octane interval sequence. The inclusion of this visual has thrilled fans and filmmakers alike.
Director S.S. Rajamouli expressed his excitement and gratitude, acknowledging the Oscar team for the recognition. Sources suggest Rajamouli is now setting his sights on his next magnum opus, tentatively titled SSMB 29, starring Mahesh Babu. The film is speculated to release on March 27, 2027—marking exactly five years since RRR’s release. With action set to take center stage once again, expectations are already soaring, and budgetary ambitions remain uncompromised.
Producer DVV Danayya, whose banner DVV Entertainments bankrolled RRR, also celebrated the moment with a social media post:
“The Legendary Saga Continues! Proud and elated to see #RRRMovie featured in the prestigious #Oscars announcement! 💥”
Fans of Ram Charan, Mahesh Babu, and Indian cinema at large are jubilant, taking pride in the global spotlight being shone on homegrown action and stunt choreography. As the industry braces for this exciting new chapter, the road to the 100th Oscars promises to be a thrilling ride for stunt professionals worldwide.
