The movie has so far won a Golden Globe for best original song for “Naatu Naatu” as well as two Critics Choice Awards — best foreign language film and best song for “Naatu Naatu”. The song is also in the Oscars longlist.
Earlier this month, Priyanka had hosted a special screening of Last Film Show, India’s official entry for the 2023 Oscars.
