The Hollywood award season kickstarted with the 80th Golden Globe Awards on Wednesday morning (in India time). And guess who just made a grand entrance - RRR star Jr NTR. At the Golden Globes, RRR won the award for Best Original Song for its track Naatu Naatu. RRR has also been nominated in the Best Non-English Language Film category. Jr NTR made a grand entrance in an all black tux. The actor, who had earlier said that he would love to do a Marvel film, was asked at the red carpet if he is "manifesting" a Marvel film. The actor said that while his fans are way too excited, he is still "waiting" for the call from Marvel. He also brought the host a small present for his birthday.
