Priyanka Chopra's RRR Oopsie: Memes Galore as Podcast Host Mistakes Tamil Film for Bollywood

On the podcast Armchair Expert, Priyanka Chopra made an appearance as a guest.

After she had a conversation with American actor-director Dax Shepard on his podcast, the Armchair Expert, the superstar Priyanka Chopra has become the subject of choice for debate on social media. The actress spoke about her experiences in Bollywood and Hollywood as well as her professional and personal lives in the podcast. Priyanka Chopra discusses the development of the Hindi film business throughout the chat.

"Bollywood has matured in such an amazing way," she remarked. The mainstream huge action, the love narrative, and the dancing are all there. Dax stops her by stating, "RRR…" in reference to the SS Rajamouli masterpiece, which was a worldwide theatrical hit and earned an Oscar. But Priyanka corrects and makes it clear that it's not a Hindi movie. All is well thus far. But, while correcting him, Priyanka slips up and states that RRR is a Tamil movie when it is actually a Telugu one. By the way, that's a Tamil movie, she adds. It functions like a large, massive, blockbuster Tamil movie. Like our Avengers, it.

Naturally, the mistake attracted notice online, and jokes and memes quickly followed. One user, for instance, said, "Amazing. Tamil and Telugu animosity among fans has been put a stop by PC. Let's finish by referring to Ponniyin Selvan as a Telugu movie. The end of warfare.

Given that Priyanka Chopra even hosted the RRR team in Los Angeles in connection with the Oscars, many people were disappointed by her error. According to one tweet, she boldly corrected Dax by saying, "That's a Tamil movie, incidentally, and it's a massive super blockbuster Tamil movie." You really welcomed Charan and his family at your house after meeting the RRR crew during Oscars promotions in Los Angeles.

Others have even said that it is due to a lack of knowledge about the many southern states and the misconception that all of south India is Madras.

Another user noted that Chopra "participated in the campaign of Oscars without knowing the original language of the #RRRMovie."

"2 wrongs do not make a right," said one tweet, along with laughing emojis.

Another laughed and said, "She was dead serious too.

RRR is a fictitious account of the conflict between the British and the revolutionary freedom warriors Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR). With the song Naatu Naatu, the movie received the Oscar for Best Original Song.

As previously noted, Priyanka Chopra attended a private screening of the movie and even hosted Ram Charan, SS Rajamouli, and their families while the RRR crew was in Los Angeles for the 95th Academy Awards.

It's interesting to note that Priyanka Chopra made her acting debut in the 2002 Tamil movie Thamizhan. The actress's upcoming project is Citadel, a thriller web series.
