Ram Charan reveals he was ready to perform at Oscars with ‘Naatu Naatu’; Praises dance troupe for their fantastic performance

Ram Charan, the star  RRR, recently revealed that he was ready to perform on the Academy Award-winning track Naatu Naatu during the 95th edition of the Oscars. Despite being ready for the opportunity, the actor was unsure why he wasn’t called to perform. The song was performed by talented dancers of diverse ethnic backgrounds at the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, accompanied by live singing from Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava. Ram Charan praised the dance troupe for their fantastic performance and stated that he believed they did a better job than he could have done.

Ram Charan also shared his thoughts on the global sensation, which he has performed on more than once on various stages. The megastar shared that it was now time for him to relax and enjoy watching someone else represent India with the song. He believes that the song belongs to India and it’s the people who have taken it to the carpet.

The actor also expressed his perspective on the Oscar win, stating that while it is a significant achievement, the love of the audience is the ultimate reward. He believes that nothing compares to the experience of being in a packed theatre and feeling the audience’s response firsthand. Ram Charan shared that the love and support of the Indian audience are the most significant accolades, and everything else is merely a bonus.

When quizzed about the recent surge of success for South Indian films, Ram Charan attributed it to the groundbreaking two-part film series “Baahubali” directed by SS Rajamouli. He praised Rajamouli’s directorial style and stated that he always learns something new when working with the master filmmaker.

Ram Charan’s comments at the India Today Conclave 2023 showed his humility and pride in being a part of the Indian film industry. His desire to perform at the Oscars with Naatu Naatu and his admiration for the dance troupe and Rajamouli is a testament to his dedication to his craft.
