Oscars 2023: Jr. NTR Confirms He Won't Be Performing 'Naatu Naatu' With Ram Charan; Here’s Why!

The team of the film ‘RRR’ is currently in the United States for the 95th Academy Awards. Ram Charan, Jr. NTR, SS Rajamouli, MM. Keeravani and others are all set to present India at the Oscars 2023. The film’s song which has been nominated for ‘Best Original’ is currently the talk of the town globally. Jr NTR has responded to a question about whether he and his RRR co-star Ram Charan will perform the popular song ‘Naatu Naatu’ on stage at the 95th Academy Awards. Jr NTR discussed the track's performance by MM Keeravani, Rahul Sipligunj, and Kaala Bhairava in a new interview.

Jr. NTR answers about dancing on the song at the Oscars

Talking about whether he will be performing the song with Ram on the day, he said, “We do not plan to dance to ‘Naatu Naatu’ at the event. I was hoping for it to happen. But we didn't have time to practice. We don't want to go onto the world's biggest stage unprepared. So we were both busy, I was busy, and Charan was probably busy as well, with a lot of prior commitments back home. Thus, I don't believe we will perform, but our music director (MM) Keeravani, the song's singers Rahul (Sipligunj), and my brother (Kaala) Bhairava will. I believe it will be enjoyable for me to sit in the audience and observe the performance.”
