Gunn tweeted, "Would love to write a movie for a movie star like Ram Charan, just to work with such a great actor and cinematic presence. But if he works in international productions, he must be the lead! Hollywood usually doesn’t get that. I’m here for more great Indian movies."

"Both Sides of the Blade" (France), "Corsage" (Austria), "Decision to Leave" (Korea), "Holy Spider" (Denmark), "One Fine Morning" (France), "Tori and Lokita" (Belgium), and "Utama" are the other films that are serious candidates for the Best International Feature Film award (Bolivia).

Utama is a love mystery about a couple who lives in the dry mountains of Bolivia's Altiplano, in contrast to Decision to Leave from Korea, which is a romantic mystery. According to IndieWire, RRR has a good chance of winning an Oscar in the technical categories, just as Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire garnered eight nominations.

Such ecstatic acclaim should influence the Indian jury that will nominate their movie for an Oscar. This implies that SS Rajamouli and the company must make a strong case for publishing it.
