RRR film won four major awards at the Hollywood Critics Association film awards last week. We saw pictures of Rajamouli, Keeravani, Ram Charan, Senthil Kumar and Karthikeya posing with the HCA awards on social media. But we didnt see Jr NTR at the award ceremony.

People were asking questions to the Hollywood Critics Association why they didn’t invite Jr NTR to the award ceremony. To which Hollywood Critics association gave a reply, saying they did invite Jr NTR to the Award ceremony but he was shooting for a film in India so he couldn’t attend the felicitation ceremony. ‘He would be receiving his awards from us shortly’ said HCA (Hollywwod Critics Asssociation)
Dear RRR fans & supporters,
We did invite N. T. Rama Rao Jr. to attend the #HCAFilmAwards but he is shooting a new film in India.
He will be receiving his awards from us shortly.
Thank you for all your love and support.
Sincerely,
The Hollywood Critics Association

Some people were thinking that maybe because his brother passed away last week, Jr NTR could not attend the award ceremony, HCA issued a clarification even for this saying HCA award ceremony took place before. Jr NTR brother passed away later on. During the award ceremony, NTR was shooting for a film due to which he couldn’t attend.Regarding his brother passing away, HCA said, that on the news of NTR brother death, NTR later on stepped away from the movie, as per the response they received from the actor’s publicist.
He was originally shooting a movie which is why he couldn’t attend. His brother passing happened afterwards and is why he stepped away from the movie. This is what his publicist told us.

Jr NTR will be receiving the HCA honours upon arriving to the US for the Oscar promotions of RRR.
