Naatu Naatu from SS Rajamouli's RRR has swept the Western imagination. Now within hours, it would be time for the Oscars ceremony. MM Keeravani, the architect of this rumbustious Indian dream, is confident of bringing in the coveted trophy.
Says Keeravani, “We’ve spoken about this (bringing home the Oscars) every time Naatu Naatu has won an American award during the last three months. Now we are hours away from the event. And I feel the same way: I am confident. Naatu Naatu has the potential to win. It’s not vanity. I know my abilities as a composer and I know how good or bad each composition is. I think I’ve done well in Naatu Naatu.”
Giving further information on Naatu Naatu and the Oscars ceremony on 12 March (tomorrow morning in India) Keeravani says, “The Naatu Naatu singers Kaala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj will be performing the song live on stage. Lauren Gottlieb will dance to the song.”
Keeravani is all set for the big night. “I want India to pray for us.”
