SS Rajamouli and Rama Rajamouli are among the 487 members who will be part of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. They have been counted among the distinguished artists and executives.
Rajamouli has been chosen for his directorials 'RRR' and 'Eega'. On the other hand, his wife has been chosen from the Costume Designers category for her works in 'RRR' and 'Baahubali: The Beginning'.
"Membership selection is based on professional qualifications, with an ongoing commitment to representation, inclusion and equity. This year, there are 71 Oscar nominees, including 19 winners, among the invitees," the Academy's website says.
Rajamouli will direct Mahesh Babu's next film, which is yet to be launched. MM Keeravani is going to compose its music.
