Transcript
00:00How does it feel to be here tonight supporting RRR?
00:03I mean, it's such a surreal moment right now.
00:05I don't feel as an RRR team as we're coming as a country
00:09of 1.8 billion people's love and support for 85 years of our film industry.
00:15We are so happy for Academy to recognize this, yes.
00:20Of course, we're so excited to see this performance tonight.
00:23Have you seen a preview at all?
00:26Absolutely. I did get a sneak peek into the rehearsals.
00:29They are doing such a fantastic job.
00:31They are doing better than us, for sure.
00:33And you guys are going to have a ride.
00:34It's going to be a music festival inside, for sure.
00:37We can't wait to see it.
00:38What is this whole journey during awards season with RRR meant to you?
00:42I mean, just this journey is so special.
00:45As an actor, when we were part of the shooting of this, we never thought.
00:49And today, it's not our film. It's not our song.
00:52It's become the people's song.
00:54And people have owned it so much across the globe from Japan to U.S.
00:58And they have brought the song and the movie to the carpet today and to the Academy.
01:04So grateful to God for that.
01:06Like you said, people love this movie and have embraced this film and this song.
01:10Yes.
01:11Could we ever see an RRR sequel?
01:13I would love it. I heard it in many interviews.
01:16My director has said that.
01:18And I'll be the happiest if it happens.
01:20Of course, of course. They will crack it again. They will nail it again.
01:24And since we are here at the Oscars tonight, of course, I saw you at the Golden Globes, too.
01:27So you've been at a few of these award shows.
01:29But is there anyone you're really excited to see here tonight and maybe meet who you haven't gotten a chance to meet yet?
01:34Waiting to meet Cate Blanchett and the Top Gun team.
01:37But I heard he was busy and he couldn't make it today.
01:41And, yeah, just my co-star is here.
01:45There you go. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah.
01:48Amazing. Have a great night tonight. Thank you so much.
01:51Thank you so much.
01:52Thank you so much.
