Here's what SS Rajamouli has to say about RRR's 'Naatu Naatu' Oscars nominee; know song details
SS Rajamouli discussed the dance number and the song's location acknowledged choreographer Prem Rakshit and lavished praise on Ram Charan and Jr NTR.
FollowFilmmaker SS Rajamouli recently gave an interview to Vanity Fair prior to the Oscars 2023, where he expressed his vision for the song (Naatu Naatu) and the guidelines he gave to choreographer Prem Rakshit. The director also stated that he enjoyed working with the song's background dancers since they astonished him with their proficiency.
"I have worked with choreographer Prem Rakshith before, he has worked with both Charan and NTR Jr as well. He has given the actors a memorable number, suited to their body languages. He had a difficult job as I told him that the song should (look) nice, the steps shouldn’t be too difficult so people can also replicate, and it should suit the style of the actors."Â

Rajamouli also said that, while Naatu Naatu appears to be a joyful tune, it is actually a combat sequence. The filmmaker added that there is a fight scenario with the Englishman coming in and provoking Charan and Jr NTR, but because both are there, they can't blow up and participate in a fist-fight.

The Baahubali director also praised his starring guys, Ram Charan and Jr NTR, calling them India's best dancers. He stated, "NTR and Charan have always struck me as extraordinary dancers. Yet, in my opinion, feeling and appreciating your dance is more important than being acrobatic. Only then will the audience be able to appreciate it as well." Rajamouli went on to say that, despite both celebrities being top commercial heroes, he recognised that his fans would want to see them compete, which is why he attempted to include it at the song's conclusion.
