Oscars 2023: RRR’s ‘Naatu Naatu’ Makes History Again, Gets Oscar Nomination for Original Song

RRR’s song ‘Naatu Naatu’ is on course to making history again, as it gets one step closer to winning the golden trophy, making the final nominations list at the Oscars 2023.

Pan Nalin’s Gujarati film ‘Chhello Show‘ was picked as India’s official entry to the Oscars for the ‘Best International Feature.’

RRR’s campaign for the Academy Awards included various categories including Best Actor, Best Visual Effects and Best Music.

All that effort seems to have borne fruit, as ‘Naatu Naatu,’ filmed at the Mariinskyi Palace in Kyiv, Ukraine, seems a shoo-in for the golden statue, on the back of its Golden Globe win.

The SS Rajamouli historical has struck a chord with audiences globally, with Naatu Naatu‘ earning a Golden Globe and the film winning ‘Best Foreign Language Film’ at the Critics Choice Awards as well. 

The movie, based on a fictional meeting of real-life freedom fighters Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komuram Bheem, features Ram Charan and Jr NTR in the lead roles.

The film also features Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Olivia Morris and others in key roles.
