NTR told Variety: “I don’t think there’s a lot of politics going on with how the films should look. I think the jury sitting there knows what they do best… Hindi has primarily been the national language for a very long time, and that’s why he came to the limelight. For us, choose RRR or don’t choose RRR, RRR has already made us proud.” Ram Charan lightly added to the reply, “He (Jr. NTR) behaves really modestly, but I want these two awards… I just don’t want to slander it.”

He further talked about Hindi as the national language and said their Telugu film RRR they were proud of it, and it didn’t matter whether he was selected as India’s entry for the Oscars or not.
