‘Naatu Naatu’ from ‘RRR’ to be performed at Oscars 2023 ceremony
There’s no stopping ‘RRR‘ success. The Oscar-nominated song ‘Naatu Naatu‘ from S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR will be performed at the 95th Academy Awards by singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava in their Oscar debut.
The cross-cultural hit is nominated in the original song category alongside “This Is A Life” from “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “Applause” from “Tell It Like a Woman,” and “Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” all of which are part of the scheduled performances for the 95th annual ceremony, Variety reported.
The song’s music is composed by M.M. Keeravaani, while its lyrics are written by Chandrabose.
David Byrne, Stephanie Hsu and Son Lux will also take the stage at the Oscars to perform “This Is a Life,” the Oscar-nominated song from Everything Everywhere All at Once, as will Rihanna, who will sing the Oscar-nominated song “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Before entering the Oscars, the song bagged awards on the global stage. In January, ‘Naatu Naatu’ won the Golden Globes in the ‘Best Original Song’ category. Five days later, ‘RRR’ bagged two more awards at the 28th edition of the Critics Choice Awards. One is for the best song and another is for ‘best foreign language film.’ Since then, ‘RRR’ and ‘Naatu Naatu’ are riding high on the global chart.
