SS Rajamouli’s “RRR” struck gold at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards by winning the trophy for the best original song–motion picture for its hit track “Naatu Naatu”
The blockbuster Telugu movie is also nominated for the ‘best picture-non English’ at the ceremony
The Telugu track “Naatu Naatu” is composed by veteran music director MM Keeravaani and sung by Kala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj
Keeravani thanked Rajamouli for his “vision”
“It has been an ages old practice to say that this award actually belongs to someone else. So I was planning to not say those words when I get an award like this, but I’m sorry to say that I’m going to repeat the tradition because I mean my words
“This award belongs to, in order of priority, my brother and the director of the movie, SS Rajamouli for his vision. I thank him for this constant trust in my work and support,” Keeravani said after accepting the award
The veteran music composer also thanked the team behind the track — choreographer Prem Rakshith, lyricist Chandrabose and singers Sipligunj and Bhairava
“And NT Rama Rao Jr and Ram Charan for dancing with full stamina for the song,” he said
