While Pushpa released last year, RRR created a wave in 2022 with its epic production value, action and songs.
In fact, the effect of these movies is still being felt. As Ganesh Chaturthi — the Hindu festival celebrating Lord Ganesha — draws near, we have come across snaps of Ganesha idols shaped and styled like Ram Charan’s character from RRR and Pushpa’s Pushparaj.

Both Pushpa: The Rise and RRR were smash hits. RRR has even been creating a solid Oscar buzz, with renowned American critics predicting that the movie might be nominated in Best Picture category if India selects it first to compete in the Oscar race.
