There is no stopping RRR’s success. Oscar-nominated song “Naatu Naatu,” the Indian Telugu-language song from RRR, will be performed live at the 95th Academy Awards 2023. The viral hit dance track has made India proud in more ways than one. It bagged a Golden Globe for “Best Original Song” in January.
This is the second time an Indian song will be performed at the Oscars. A decade after “Jai Ho,” the well-known song from “Slumdog Millionaire” that was composed by the master AR Rahman was performed live on February 22, 2009.
The Academy has confirmed that the song will be performed by singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava.
