Naatu Naatu, RRR's song, has been scored by MM Keeravaani and written by Chandrabose, and is nominated for Best Original Song at the 95th Academy Awards. Ram Charan talks about performing at the Oscars

Ram Charan, now in the United States with his RRR crew, claimed he would love to sing Naatu Naatu during the Oscars event on March 12. The RRR song, written by Chandrabose and composed by MM Keeravaani, has been nominated for Best Original Song at the 95th Academy Awards.

In a chat with the cinephile social platform Letterboxd, Ram said, “We would love to do Naatu Naatu anywhere that we are being appreciated, but not every place accommodates us to perform. But if we’re at the Oscars, and there’s a request, and there’s time, why not? We’ll happily entertain our audience, who have given us so much.” 

Ram also remarked that doing the entire song on stage would be tough since it requires a lot of air and stamina, but he will perform the hook step.
