Prior to this, I had no knowledge of how it's done, so I don't know if I can really comment on it. Whoever did the selection, I'm sure they (FFI) have been in the process for many years, and I'm sure [Last Film Show] is a great film. I haven't gotten the chance to see it yet, but nevertheless, I hope this is a great beginning for us", the actor said. ## "We are so happy with the reception from the West, the East, and India, and all these nominations and awards are definitely great. They're feathers in our cap, and I hope we have even better things to look forward to in the future", Charan added.## "RRR", meanwhile, scored a nomination in the Best Original Song category for "Naatu Naatu" which became India's first-ever Oscars nod in the category.
