After dominating globally, SS Rajamouli’s RRR went ahead with the popular track Naatu Naatu to the Academy Awards. And if reports are believed to be true, it is all set to be performed on stage at the Oscars 2023. To our surprise, they are not Ram Charan and Jr NTR who will perform at the global stage.
The song will be performed at the 95th Academy Awards which is going to be held on March 12 (March 13 in India). The Academy has confirmed that the Oscar-nominated song will be performed on stage by singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava in their Oscar debut. There is however, no word on Ram Charan or Jr NTR also joining them on stage.
The song is competing in the best original song category against This Is A Life from Everything Everywhere All at Once, Applause from Tell It Like a Woman, Lift Me Up from Black Panther and others.
