RRR fans will get to see Ram Charan and Jr NTR’s hit song Naatu Naatu performed at the Oscars 2023. However, the Telugu stars will not be shaking their leg to the song.
In bittersweet news for RRR fans, Ram Charan and Jr NTR will not be performing their hit RRR track Naatu Naatu at the Oscars 2023. However, they will be treated to a performance of the song by American actress Lauren Gottlieb who has predominantly worked in the Indian film industry. Taking to her Instagram, the ABCD: Any Body Can Dance star confirmed that she will be representing India at the 95th Academy Awards and performing on the Golden Globe Award-winning song.
“SPECIAL NEWS!!! 🔥 I’m performing on ‘Naatu Naatu’ at the OSCARS!!!!!! I’m beyond excited to represent India on the most prestigious stage in the world. Wish me luck!!!” she wrote on Instagram. Friends and fans rushed to the comments section and showered her with best wishes.
Vishal Dadlani wrote, “Whoa @laurengottlieb ! That’s big!” Meiyang Chang commented, “Wooohoooooooooooo 🔥🔥🔥 Go Lauren.” Karan Tacker added, “Woah!!! That’s massive ! All the best!”
A fan joined in and said, “Yay!!! We’re so excited for you @laurengottlieb! I can’t wait to see your performance. Love seeing your beautiful face on Instagram again too.” “You got what u truly deserve. 🙌🙏Dance your heart kidney lungs out like a freak 😍🔥🔥❤️❤️ All the bestest best!! Undoubtedly u gonna kill it,” added another.
The Academy confirmed a few days ago that Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava will be performing the hit number at the Oscars this year.
Last month, speaking with Letterboxd, Ram explained that while he would love to recreate the Naatu Naatu on the Oscar stage, the stage might not be able to accommodate it. “We would love to do ‘Naatu Naatu’ anywhere that we are being appreciated, but not every place accommodates us to perform. But if we’re at the Oscars and there’s a request, and there’s time, why not? We’ll be more than happy to entertain our audience, who have given us so much. To do the whole number on the stage would be difficult, as it takes a lot of breath and energy. But definitely the hook step. Why not?” he said.
