When Naatu Naatu was nominated for the Oscars, Olivia had shared a post on Instagram. She wrote, “Me right now. The Naatu Naatu sequence was by far my favourite thing to work on in RRR and it was only made possible by the incredible @ssrajamouli and #mmkeeravaani. To see Naatu Naatu being nominated for best original song at the Oscar’s and winning at the Golden Globes is such a huge and wonderful thing. So grateful to have been a part of this epic film.”

Naatu Naatu, composed by MM Keeravani, was shot at the Presidential Palace of Kyiv, Ukraine. The original song features Olivia, Ram, and Jr NTR. RRR follows a pre-Independence fictional story woven around two real-life Indian revolutionaries – Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR) – in the 1920s. The film also features Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, and Shriya Saran in key roles.
