Actor Ram Charan is currently in the US and he is busy with promotional interviews for ‘RRR’ ahead of the 95th Academy Awards. In a recent interview, the star expressed his desire to perform to the ‘Naatu Naatu’ song at the Oscars. As of now, Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava, singers of the dance track, have been confirmed to perform on the Oscars night.
‘Naatu Naatu’ from SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus has entered the Oscars race in the Best Original Song category.
In an interview with Letterbox, Ram Charan said, ‘We would love to do Naatu Naatu anywhere that we are being appreciated, but not every place accommodates us to perform. But if we’re at the Oscars and there’s a request, and there’s time, why not? We’ll be more than happy to entertain our audience, who have given us so much. To do the whole number on the stage would be difficult, as it takes a lot of breath and energy. But definitely the hook step. Why not?’
Several videos of the western audience grooving to ‘Naatu Naatu’ in the theatres have surfaced online over the last few months. The song has already won quite a few major awards- the Golden Globes in the Best Original Song category and the Best Song at the 28th edition of the Critics Choice Awards.
‘RRR’ was released in theatres last March. It is a fictional story set in the 1920s pre-independent era and is based on the lives of two real heroes and well-known revolutionaries – Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. The period drama earned over ₹1000 crore worldwide during its theatrical run.
