RR came, saw and absolutely conquered the 95th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. Naatu Naatu won the Oscar for Best Original Song – let’s be honest, was it ever not going to? – and there is no question of keeping calm and carrying on. The Oscars were awarded to composer MM Keeravaani, who sang a version of The Carpenters’ hit Top of the World as his acceptance speech, and lyricist Chandrabose. The insanely viral footpath is from RRR, directed by SS Rajamouli and featuring actors Ram Charan and Jr NTR.
Story of RRR…
RRR, set in British India, has won hearts across the world – it’s running to full huts .The song, filmed above the Presidential Palace in pre-war Kyiv, Ukraine, is an infectious dance battle between Ram Charan and Jr NTR’s characters, Raju and Bheem, versus their British counterparts. Raju and Bheem are the last men standing, sorry dancing, after their complicated routine bests their opponents.
