Now, Hollywood Critics Association has issued a clarification over the same. 

In a tweet, the HCA said that the actor was invited to attend their award ceremony but he could not make it due to prior shooting commitments. “Dear RRR fans and supporters, we did invite NT Rama Rao Jr (Jr NTR). to attend the HCA Film Awards but he is shooting a new film in India.” The Association also promised that the actor will soon receive the award, “He will be receiving his awards from us shortly. Thank you for all your love and support. Sincerely, The Hollywood Critics Association.”

A few of the Jr NTR fans responded that he lost a cousin recently and his official handle responded with, “He was originally shooting a movie, which is why he couldn’t attend. His brother passing happened afterwards and is why he stepped away from the movie. This is what his publicist told us.” For the unversed, Jr NTR’s cousin Nandamuri Taraka Ratna died in a Bengaluru hospital, where he was admitted after he collapsed during a rally in last month.
