The Oscar winners RRR team attended a pre-Oscar party given by Indian actress Priyanka Chopra for South Asian talent. Nevertheless, in a recent incident, Priyanka Chopra accidentally set off the Twitter trolls by referring to RRR as a Tamil movie.
On her podcast called Armchair Expert, Priyanka Chopra spoke with Dax Shepard. Priyanka Chopra confidently corrected Shepard when he incorrectly referred to the RRR as a “Bollywood film” by labelling it a “Tamil film.”
Shepard likened Bollywood to Hollywood in the 1950s, when a select few stars and major studios dominated the industry. Don’t think you are far from it, Priyanka responded in agreement to his remark. I believe that huge studios would produce five-actor movies, but the game has completely shifted since then. It’s streaming, to start with. So many content creators now have access thanks to it. Bollywood is changing.
The emcee then brought up S.S. Rajamouli’s “RRR,” whose song “Naatu Naatu” took home the major prize at the 95th Academy Awards. Priyanka Chopra was quick to correct him, but she ultimately made a mistake.
