S.S. Rajamouli says RRR's Oscar win 'adds a bit of pressure' to get moving on the sequel.
Introduced by Deepika Padukone as “a total banger,” as well as “the first song ever from an Indian production to be nominated for an Oscar,” the performance energized the telecast by recreating the dance-till-you-drop narrative of the number as it appears in “RRR,” all the way down to some suspenders-popping — albeit with even more colorful costuming than appears in the film’s 1920s setting
“Naatu Naatu” came into the ceremony as an unlikely frontrunner, marking the first time that a Telugu song — i.e., from “Tollywood” — had been nominated for theOscar, let along pegged over a host of superstars like Rihanna and Lady Gaga as a favorite. Composer M.M. Keeravani, who scored the film as well as co-writing its many songs, and lyricist Chandrabose are the honorees for their work on the S.S. Rajamouli-directed film. The song previously won the Golden Globe award for best song.
