Resul Pookutty, an Oscar-winning sound designer, has suddenly become the centre of controversy. He referred to the critically acclaimed epic RRR as a “gay love story” on Twitter. Additionally, the distinguished technician asserted that Alia Bhatt, who portrayed Ram Charan’s love interest in the movie, was merely utilised as “a prop.” All of these comments were in response to actor Munish Bharadwaj’s tweet, “Saw 30 minutes of rubbish called RRR last night,” which sparked the conversation.
Netizens expressed their displeasure with his remarks by saying that he was acting like a troll and that they had not anticipated such a response from an Oscar winner.
Saw 30 minutes of garbage called RRR last night.

The action drama has been linked to the LGBTQ subject before, though, so this is not the first instance. Many members of the global audience who watched the film’s OTT debut tweeted that they didn’t believe Ram Charan and Jr. NTR’s portrayals of the two protagonists were entirely platonic. However, many movie fans have a different viewpoint and have praised the movie. Additionally, the movie had a successful run at the box office.
The pre-independence era of the 1920s serves as the backdrop for the fictional story RRR. It features two historical revolutionaries who are fighting the British colonialists, Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR).
