For RRR, Naatu Naatu’s win at the Oscars caps off a string of victories. The period drama had won at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards and Hollywood Critics Association as well.

Directed by SS Rajamouli, the period drama starred Jr NTR and Ram Charan as the freedom fighters Komaram Bheem and Alluri Sitaram Raju. RRR followed the two characters as they rose up in revolt against British colonialism.

As for Shah Rukh Khan, the Bollywood superstar is riding high on the success of Pathaan. The espionage action flick became the highest-grossing Hindi movie in India. Interestingly, Khan’s Pathaan co-star Deepika Padukone also made her presence felt at the Oscars as she made her debut as a presenter.

Shah Rukh Khan is set to appear next in Atlee’s Jawan and Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki.
