Jr NTR And Ram Charan Jointly Top UK’s Most Popular Asian Celebrity List

In the yearly UK list of the "Top 50 Asian Celebrities in the World," popular Indian actors Jr. NTR and Ram Charan, who co-starred in the blockbuster film "RRR," jointly topped the list. There are two nominations for the Golden Globes for the SS Rajamouli-directed film "RRR." The Telugu cinema stars stood out among other South Asian celebrities for breaking world records and forging a way.

The duo is praised for bringing attention to regional language cinema in India on the 2022 list. The list will be published in the UK weekly Eastern Eye on Friday. "Jr NTR and Ram Charan breathed fire into cinema halls with 'RRR.' They ignited the kind of interest in commercial Indian films from a cross-cultural audience globally. This is from the media, including international media. Such interest was not seen before," said Asjad Nazir. Nazir is Eastern Eye's Entertainment Editor who compiled the list. "It led to 'RRR' campaigning in all the major categories for the 2023 Oscars. The film also won honors like the Spotlight Award from the Hollywood Critics Association and two Golden Globe nominations. The heroes also drew attention to regional language cinema in India. This resulted in multiple movie successes away from the commercial Bollywood space," added Nazir. The Top 50 list highlights South Asian performers in music, film, and the arts. Those on the list made a significant effect in 2022. They did this by pushing boundaries, shattering glass ceilings, or simply by inspiring others in their own special way. It involves input from the general public as several social media posts nominate the favorites. Pakistani superstar Fawad Khan came in second for his "transformative" film "The Legend of Maula Jatt." The film broke Pakistani box office records. The film also raised the bar for the nation's film industry. His triumphant performance in the Disney+ superhero series "Ms. Marvel" has also earned him recognition.
