Jimmy Kimmel`s Oscar 2023 hosting stint did not go down well with the `RRR` fans as he called SS Rajamouli`s directorial a Bollywood movie in his opening monologue.

While fans were overjoyed to see the movie recognised at the 95th Academy Awards, they were also taken aback when Kimmel referred to it as a Bollywood film.

"RRR is South Indian cinema, a Telugu film, Tollywood. Not Bollywood, as some Oscars ppl might be saying," a social media user tweeted.

"Not at all a "Bollywood" song. It`s an insult to call Naatu Naatu a Bollywood song. It`s a TELUGU song," another one wrote on Twitter.

"Not even 15 minutes in and jimmy kimmel called rrr bollywood ugh," a netizen wrote.
