Fans of RRR demanded actress Olivia Morris's noteworthy, as they seem unimpressed with Alia's mere cameo performance winning an international award.
A fan mentioned, "We demand for @OliviaMorris891. She performed very well than. @aliaa08. Please consider this."
Another user mentioned, "Winning award for a cameo! Omg!"
Thanks @HCAcritics, such a happy moment to see my man's name on so many awards ?

Would’ve been the most happiest Jenny (played by Olivia Morris) also been included. They were the soul of the movie when Action and Brotherhood were not in the fore pic.twitter.com/gXvzxoODe1
The third one mentioned, "Alia ye acha to Ajay Devgan sir n kiya tha" (Ajay Devgn's performance was way better than Alia's).
What about super star ajay devagan and other's
