Aside from the best international film and best action film awards, the blockbuster Telegu-language Indian film has also received awards for best stunts and best original song for the film's highly acclaimed track Naatu Naatu.
The writer and director of RRR, S. S. Rajamouli, went on to accept the best stunts award. While giving his speech, the prolific director said:
"In the innumerable action shots in the whole film, there were hardly 2-3 shots where we used body doubles. The actors performed each and every stunt. They are wonderful guys. It is the combined effort of the whole team. I thank my whole team for this. We have put in 320 days of hard work to make this film, most of which were taken by the stunts," (Via The Hindu)

"Hope, we have these wings to fly further. Lastly to my country itself, a land of wonderful stories, Bharat. Mera Bharat mahaan. Jai Hind," (Via The Hindu)
