RRR at Oscars 2023: Fans Unhappy After Host Jimmy Kimmel Calls SS Rajamouli's Film a 'Bollywood Movie' at 95th Academy Awards

In his opening monologue Jimmy Kimmel might have ruffled a few feathers after the host incorrectly called RRR a "Bollywood" film, which is actually a Tollywood film. With it being a Telugu film from the "South of India," as it was in the words of director SS Rajamouli, fans surely are not happy with host Kimmel. Here are just some of the reactions from fans. RRR Star Jr NTR Drops Pics of His Fun Meet Up With Emily in Paris Actor Lucien Leon Laviscount in LA!

Kimmel Sure Got This One Wrong...

Why are they stating as a 'Bollywood Film' when #RRR is actually a Tollywood film? There is lack of representation in the Western world unfortunately. Shame on #TheAcademy! https://t.co/aYW4bXwM16
