Chief Minister Reddy tweeted, "The Telugu flag is flying high! On behalf of the whole of Andhra Pradesh, I congratulate MM Keeravani, SS Rajamouli, Jr. NTR, Ram Charan Teja and RRR Movie. Congratulations to the entire team. We are so proud of you! #GoldenGlobes2023."

We are Indians first & so kindly stop separating yourself from the rest of the country…Especially internationally, we are one country! This ‘separatist’ attitude is highly unhealthy as we saw in 1947!!! Thank you…Jai HIND!”
