Summing up SS Rajamouli's RRR journey, from becoming a hit in India to creating a wave in the West, in just a few words is a task that might seem impossible to many. The high-octane action-drama has not only impressed the audience at home but has also left cine lovers mesmerised in Hollywood. RRR, starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR in the lead roles, has achieved those milestones which no other Indian film ever did on the international platform. Now, the blockbuster is gearing up to take over the 95th Academy Awards, which is slated to take place in Los Angeles on March 12 (March 13 morning in India). Its song Naatu Naatu has been nominated in the Best Music (Original Song) category at Oscars 2023, where singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava will perform it live on stage. FYI: Naatu Naatu has garnered worldwide acclaim and fetched many trophies at international awards.
At this year's Golden Globes, Naatu Naatu won Best Original Song, making India proud. That's not it, RRR also proved to be a highlight at the 28th Critics Choice Movie Awards with two wins - Best Foreign Language Film and Best Song for Naatu Naatu.
