South Korean comedy-drama 'Parasite' created history at the Oscars earlier this year by becoming the first non-English film to win the Best Film award. The film also fetched the Best Screenplay and Best Director Oscar.

Bong Joon-Ho's film also won the prestigious Palm D'Ore at the Cannes Film Festival last year.

The film, set in South Korea narrated the story of two families from different strata of society. How their paths collide and lives change drastically after one rainy night forms the rest of the story.

The film was not only lauded for its technical brilliance and screenplay but also for its performances.

Meanwhile, Rajamouli is prepping for his new film 'RRR' which stars Ram Charan and Jr NTR. Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Olivia Morris, Samuthirakani, Alison Doody and Ray Stevenson are also part of the cast.
