There’s a lot of anticipation in India for the upcoming Oscars as ‘Naatu Naatu’ song from ‘RRR’ is competing under the category of Best Original Song. The song, which has already won a Golden Globe, will be performed at the Oscars.

Going to be held at Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, Jimmy Kimmel will return to host the Oscars after 2018. Last year, Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes hosted as a trio.
