New Delhi:
The RRR juggernaut rolls on and how. At this year’s Academy Awards, the SS Rajamouli-directed RRR was a part of the montage that was shared during this year’s ceremony taking place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. It was a part of a tribute given to stunt coordinators. Oscar-nominated actors Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt paid tribute to the contribution of stunt coordinators to cinema across the world. One moment, that has the Internet’s attention is the montage featuring RRR, which boasts of some high-octane action pieces.
Let’s also take a look back at the glorious Oscar win of the track Naatu Naatu and a blockbuster performance that took place last year. The Naatu Naatu live performance by Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava at the Oscars received a standing ovation from the crowd. The act was introduced by Deepika Padukone, who was one of the presenters at the Oscars last year.
