'Naatu Naatu' song from SS Rajamouli’s RRR won the award for Best Original Song at the Golden Globes Award beating tracks of Taylor Swift and Rihanna. Composed by MM Keeravani, the dance anthem sees Ram Charan and Jr NTR performing an incredibly sychronised dance-off with the British. The song has also been shortlisted in the Original Song category for the 95th Academy Awards, and Ram Charan revealed that if the film were to win the prestigious award, he and Jr NTR would probably dance on stage as well.
In an interview for NBP podcast, Ram Charan was asked if he would dance on the Oscars stage with Jr NTR if “Naatu Naatu” gets nominated. The actor answered, “Of course, if they are going to give us an award, why not. We will do it 17 times back again.” Nominations for the upcoming edition of the Academy Awards will be announced on January 24.
Earlier, Ram Charan had talked about shooting for the ‘beautiful torture’ that was Naatu Naatu, saying, “My knees still wobble talking about it. Ya, it was what it is, it is a beautiful torture and look where it got us! We are standing here, talking to you today on this carpet, thanks to it.”
