Rahul Sipligunj, the singer of Naatu Naatu, talks about performing the song on the Oscars stage, his encounter with Rihanna, and the road ahead.
 

Naatu Naatu singer Rahul Sipligunj shares his experience of meeting Rihanna

The lyrics of his upcoming single, which will be released in Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Tamil, were written by Kumaar, who is best known for penning the lyrics to Shah Rukh Khan's top-charting songs, Jhoome Jo Pathaan and Besharam Rang.

Rahul Sipligunj, the singer of Naatu Naatu, talks about performing the song on the Oscars stage, his encounter with Rihanna, and the road ahead.
&nbsp;

Singer Rahul Sipligunj is currently enjoying success. The singer is back in Hyderabad after his memorable performance of RRR's Naatu Naatu at the 95th Academy Awards with Kaala Bhairava. The song won an Oscar as well, making history as the first song from an Indian movie to do so.
To top it all off, Rahul and Kaala Bhairava's performance was greeted with a standing ovation by the international who's who of the entertainment industry. Rahul expresses his feelings to indianexpress.com, saying, "It was a great feeling. For any artist in the world, getting to perform on the Oscar stage is a dream come true.
Rahul observed the audience members at the Dolby theatre standing up, applauding, and cheering as soon as the dynamic performance was over. Rahul claims that moment gave him goosebumps.
He said, 'I felt shivers! The auditorium was filled with famous people from all over the world, but my mentor MM Keeravani Sir and Rajamouli Sir were there to watch our performance. We had to make sure we gave it everything we had and delighted the RRR team. Since it was essentially a stage adaptation of Naatu Naatu, that was the whole point.'
In the three to four days prior to the Oscars, the singers practiced for at least 30 minutes each day. The musicians also took pictures with Barbadian singer Rihanna, who has won nine Grammy awards. Later, the singers uploaded the photo to their social media profiles.
Rahul remembers the encounter, describing her as a beautiful woman with a beautiful heart: "Our green rooms were next to each other, and as we were returning to ours, she was emerging from hers. Me and Kaala Bhairava were talking about wanting to take a picture as we approached her. She noticed that although these two men wanted to take a photo, they were too shy to request it. She then acknowledged us and stood up.&nbsp;
After the Oscar victory, they met Rihanna, and Rahul later revealed the conversation they had with the Umbrella singer. She told the group, 'Guys, you performed really well, and congratulations on Naatu Naatu winning an Oscar.'
Rahul wants to experiment with playback and independent singing in various languages. The singer claims that he wants to translate his own music into as many languages as he did with Naatu Naatu.
The lyrics of his upcoming single, which will be released in Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Tamil, were written by Kumaar, who is best known for penning the lyrics to Shah Rukh Khan's top-charting songs, Jhoome Jo Pathaan and Besharam Rang.

I'm attempting to sing in every language now that I've won an Oscar for my singing... I want to explore my upcoming project, which is titled Tera Bhaiya Mera Saala in Hindi.'&nbsp;

AR Rahman thinks India sends the wrong films to the Oscars 

This year Two Indian films, one in Tamil and one in Telugu, won Oscar awards which include , 'The Elephant Whisperers' and 'RRR'.

According to AR Rahman, India has been submitting the incorrect movies to the Oscars. He thinks it it is important to put ourselves in the shoes of the 'Westerners'.
&nbsp;

Music director AR Rahman believes that India is not sending the right movies to the Oscars. He said that despite being nominated Indian films don't win the award because Indian filmmakers fail see the film from a Westerner's perspective.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I occasionally observe that despite being nominated for an Oscar, our films are unsuccessful. Wrong movies are being nominated for the Oscars from India. And all I can say is DON'T. We must put ourselves in the shoes of others. To understand what is going on, I must put myself in the position of a Westerner. To understand what they are doing, I need to be in their position," he said.&nbsp;
Rahman, an Oscar winner himself, made the remarks in an interview to musician L Subramaniam conducted in January but the video of the conversation has been released now.&nbsp;
AR Rahman &nbsp;was invited to become a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) which hosts the Oscars after his historic win in 2009. The singer-composer is now a regular voter and has been watching the films that qualify and get nominated. &nbsp;

Similar to Rahman and Gulzar winning for the song Jai Ho in 2009, MM Keeravaani and Chandrabose won Best Original Song for their work on the RRR's song 'Naatu Naatu'. 'The Elephant Whisperers', a Netflix original movie, won Best Documentary Short.&nbsp;

Twitter reacts as Jimmy Kimmel calls 'RRR' a 'Bollywood movie' at Oscars

'Naatu Naatu' won the Oscar for Best Original Song and made India proud. It claimed victory over Lady Gaga and Rihanna to win the award. 

SS Rajamouli's 'RRR' was described as a 'Bollywood movie' by host Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars. Fans reacted on Twitter.

Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the 95th Academy Awards, made a goof up as he referred to SS Rajamouli&rsquo;s &lsquo;RRR&rsquo; as a 'Bollywood movie'. As he announced the first award category, he was driven away by dancers set to perform the film&rsquo;s song &lsquo;Naatu Naatu&rsquo; on stage. Fans have slammed the host for his speech and have expressed their disappointment on social media.
Jimmy said, &lsquo;This year we are not gonna play you off stage instead we have a group of performers from the movie RRR who are going to dance you offstage.&rsquo; He later called the SS Rajamouli directorial a 'Bollywood movie'.
After the incident, fans started reacting to his slip-up. A Twitter user wrote, &lsquo;Why are they stating as a Bollywood Film when #RRR is actually a Tollywood film? There is a lack of representation in the Western world, unfortunately. Shame on #TheAcademy!&rsquo;
&lsquo;Hollywood just called RRR a Bollywood movie lol,&rsquo; said another person. &lsquo;RRR isn't Bollywood," a user commented.&nbsp;
&lsquo;RRR&rsquo;s &lsquo;Naatu Naatu&rsquo; bagged the Oscar in the Best Original Song category. The team was represented by composer MM Keeravani and lyricist Chandrabose on stage as they accepted the honor.
Singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava also performed the foot-tapping number at Oscars and they received a standing ovation for their performance. Actor-dancer Lauren Gottlieb was also seen grooving with them. Ahead of the performance, <a href="https://www.editorji.com/entertainment-news/oscars-deepika-padukone-introduces-naatu-naatu-team-singers-receive-standing-ovation-for-performance-1678673710893">Deepika Padukone</a> introduced the song to the audience and referred to it as a 'banger'.

Indians at the Oscars: A brief history

In 2009, at the 81st Academy Awards, music composer A R Rahman and sound engineer Resul Pookutty won the award for their work on Danny Boyle’s film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. Rahman won two awards— Best Original Song for ‘Jai Ho’, which he shared with lyricist Gulzar, and Best Original Score, while Pookutty won for Best Sound Mixing.

In 1992, Indian director Satyajit Ray won an honorary Oscar &lsquo;in recognition of his rare mastery of the art of motion pictures, and of his profound humanitarian outlook, which has had an indelible influence on filmmakers and audiences throughout the world&rsquo;.
Ray, who accepted the award from his hospital bed via video one month before his death, called it &lsquo;the best achievement of my moviemaking career&rsquo;.
