What comes to mind when thinking of the film RRR- yes, Naatu Naatu.
The film has been receiving awards upon awards and is now ahead of the Oscars.
Naatu Naatu has become a viral sensation, with over 122 million views on YouTube and prompting a TikTok challenge in which users try to reproduce the acrobatic dance-off. Well, this song has been nominated for Oscars 2023 under the Best Song category.
Another exciting news is that this song will be performed live on the stage by singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava. (This definitely will go down in the history book for so long)
The 95th Academy Awards will take place on March 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The grand night is anticipated to be attended by Rajamouli, NTR, Charan, and by the entire crew of RRR.
Jr NTR during an interview with Entertainment Tonight shared that when he walks on that red carpet, he is not going to walk as one from the Indian Film industry but solely as an Indian carrying his nation in his heart.

The actor during the show also shared his experience shooting for that song. ‘My legs still hurt!
The steps were not hard but it got harder when we had to synchronise. Rehearsals were done almost every day while shooting and even on sets”, he said to Entertainment Tonight.
