Naatu Naatu composer MM Keeravaani, who will be receiving the Padma Shri, has received a warm wish from SS Rajamouli. On Twitter, he shared an adorable picture with MM Keeravaani and wrote, "Like many of your fans feel, this recognition indeed was long over due. But, as you say the universe has a strange way of rewarding one's efforts. If I can talk back to universe, I would say Konchem gap ivvamma. okati poorthigaa enjoy chesaaka inkoti ivvu (Don't give a little gap. If you enjoy one completely, give the other one.)"
The tweet was followed by another tweet that read, "MY PEDDANNA. MM KEERAVAANI. RECIPIENT OF PADMA SHRI AWARD. PROUD!!!"

Respect for my parents and all of my mentors from Kavitapu Seethanna garu to Kuppala Bulliswamy Naidu garu on this occasion."
