SS Rajamouli-directorial RRR scripted its name in the history of Indian cinema after its prestigious win for the song Naatu Naatu at Oscars 2023. The song, starring NTR Jr and Ram Charan, won Oscar for the Best Original Song category. Recently, Oscar-winner and music maestro, AR Rahman, expressed his views on Indian films being nominated in the Best Foreign Film Category.

AR Rahman said in an interview that India is sending the wrong movies to compete at the Oscars. "Sometimes, I see that our movies go till the Oscar… they don't get it. Wrong movies are being sent for the Oscars. And I am just like DON'T. I have to be in Westerner’s shoes to see what’s happening here. I have to be in my shoes to see what they are doing," said the musician.

AR Rahman said this during his conversation with the renowned violinist on his YouTube channel.

The theatre erupted in hoots, whistles, and raucous applause as an overjoyed MM Keeravani screamed out his gratitude in time with John Carpenter's timeless romantic song after bagging an Oscar for Naatu Naatu under the Best Original Song category. Not only did RRR's Naatu Naatu won the award, The Elephant Whisperers also took home the Oscar for Best Documentary Short Film.

Soon after the Oscar win, the official Twitter handle of RRR tweeted, "We’re blessed that #RRRMovie is the first feature film to bring INDIA's first ever #Oscar in the Best Song Category with #NaatuNaatu! No words can describe this surreal moment. (folded hands emoticon) Dedicating this to all our amazing fans across the world. THANK YOU!! (red hearts emoticons) JAI HIND!"
