What happened when a big film star and a cricketer's paths converged? They posed for picture and (obviously) documented it on social media. Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal shared a picture from his meeting with RRR star Jr NTR on his Twitter profile on Tuesday. His caption read: "It was indeed a pleasure meeting the man of masses Jr NTR. What a gentleman. Congratulations on the golden globe win. We all are proud." Last week, Jr NTR attended the 80th Golden Globe Awards along with co-star Ram Charan and filmmaker SS Rajamouli. Their film RRR won the Golden Globe for Best Song for Naatu Naatu, composed by MM Keeravani.

After Naatu Naatu's big win, Jr NTR shared a picture of composer MM Keeravani with his Golden Globe trophy and he wrote in his tweet: "Congratulations Sirji on your well-deserved Golden Globes award." Jr NTR, who featured in the brilliantly-choreographed track with Ram Charan, added, "I've danced to many songs throughout my career but Naatu Naatu will forever stay close to my heart..."
Congratulations Sirji on your well-deserved #GoldenGlobes award!
