He is the cousin of director Rajamouli, and also composed songs for the Baahubali series. These ceremonies are followed by the Oscar, and a win here is seen as And the coda, the end part of the song, consists of so much stamina, you cannot call it merely a song — it is an action sequence.” Excitement over the recognition of Indian films coming from Western academies is not new. ‘Naatu Naatu’ comes at a pivotal point in the film: the two heroes are at a party hosted by the British elite and decide to show the British what ‘real dancing’ is all about. The song is composed by Keeravani, who went onstage to receive the Golden Globe. He was so hell-bent on synchronisation, watching on the monitor if the legs and hands went together, and I was like ‘Jesus, why are you doing this?’” he said. Rajamoili added, “RRR is about the legends but before they become legends”. ‘Naatu Naatu’ is easily one of the tunes that defined 2022, globally. Even though the two never actually met, the film is centred around their friendship and how they overcome the odds during the freedom struggle. Composed by M M Keeravani, and sung by Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava, it is an energetic song featuring the film’s lead actors Ram Charan and Jr NTR. RRR was also nominated in the Best Non-English Language film category but lost to Argentina 1985.

"I'm looking for the right producer to collaborate with," Keeravani said. "I missed a great chance at meeting her because she's one of my favorites, too," Keeravani said. "Our emotions are the same," Keeravani said of American audiences that embrace RRR. "I was motivated to repeat the steps they did, but I realized how difficult it was," Keeravani said. "Naatu Naatu" began with lyrics by Chandrabose, which Keeravani set to music. "The languages are different, but the feelings we have, we share for each other. RRR is the 12th Rajamouli film that Keeravani has composed. Keeravani said "Etthara Jenda" is also celebratory, but more specifically patriotic. "That's what I wanted to convey further, but the time was up." "That was the last good news I shared with her," Keeravani told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. 10 marked the 36th anniversary of the day Keeravani began his apprenticeship with composer K.

Incidentally, both Daisy Edgar-Jones and the cast of RRR, including Jr NTR and Ram Charan, were present at the Golden Globes together.

We hope she has a brilliant future. But it was her supporting performance in the series Under the Banner of Heaven that scored her a Golden Globe nod. Had she stayed on, she’d have been among the most popular cast members in a film that already featured the likes of Taarak, Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn.
