"That's one of the greatest compliments that I can receive."

Indian filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli has

become an award season standout

with his three-hour long action film 'RRR'

(S.S. Rajamouli, Director)

"We set out to make the movie for the audience, for them to love it, for them to experience the movie. But of course, once that is done, you really look at critical acclaim because that gives the entire cast and crew a pat on the back. A kind of, how do you say, inspiration to get back to work and work harder and work better, better. So, that means a lot."

'RRR' tells the story of the

Indian freedom struggle

from the British and

the Nizam of Hyderabad

So far the film has been nominated

for two Golden Globes

There's also a campaign to get it

nominated for an Academy Award
