The track has been composed by veteran music director MM Keeravaani and voiced by singers Kala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj. Keeravaani thanked director S S Rajamouli for his "vision" as he accepted the award. "Naatu Naatu", filmed on Ram Charan and Jr NTR, roughly translates to dance like no one's watching in Telugu. Choreographed by Prem Rakshith, it has legions of followers still trying to master its steps.
The song, which became a sensation across social media as users took to their own version in viral Instagram and Tik-tok videos, has been shortlisted for the best original song, along with 14 others, in the Oscars.

In 2009, A R Rahman became the first Indian to win a Golden Globe for 'best score-motion picture' for the British film "Slumdog Millionaire". The Danny Boyle directed film went on to win eight Oscars, including two for Rahman (one of which he shared with veteran lyricist Gulzar for best song winner 'Jai Ho') and one for Resul Pookutty (sound mixing). 

The song, which beat the likes of Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Lady Gaga, to win the coveted award is the first time that an Indian production has won a Golden Globe. Organised by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the prestigious awards mark the beginning of the Hollywood season that ends with the Oscars "RRR" had also been nominated in the 'best picture-non English' category and lost out to Argentina's historical drama 'Argentina, 1985'.

"RRR" has also received five nominations for Critics Choice Awards -- best picture, best director, best foreign language film, best song for "Naatu Naatu", and best visual effects. And last week, the movie made it to the BAFTA longlist for 'film not in English language' category.
