RRR, directed by SS Rajamouli, has won not one, but two awards at the 28th Critics Choice Awards. The film won Best Foreign Language Film and Best Song for its viral track Naatu Naatu at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
M M Keeravaani won Best Original Song at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards on January 14, just days after winning the Golden Globe for Best Original Song.
He won the award for Best Original Score for RRR.
He shared the night with Cate Blanchett and Bill Nighy, who won Best Actor and Best Actress for their roles in Tar and Living, respectively.
“It’s as if I’m living in a dream. But it’s also exhausting. The last two weeks have been a blur of activity. I can’t even remember which function I’m attending or where I’m going “Keeravaani admits.
