Continuing its string of wins, filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’ recently bagged five awards at the recently concluded HCA awards. While Ram Charan was seen during the ceremony, the absence of the film’s other lead, Jr NTR left his fans fuming.

The hullabaloo reached a point where Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) itself had to step in and issue a clarification over why the actor, who played Komaram Bheem in Rajamouli’s magnum opus, didn’t attend the ceremony.
