Naatu naatu song choreographer name

RRR made history when Naatu Naatu won the Best Original Song at the Golden Globes. It has its eyes set on bigger goals as Oscars are set to announce their nominations on January 24. Videos of audience members in different parts of the world dancing and trying the hook step of the song Naatu Naatu at the film’s screenings went viral on social media. Prem Rakshith, who choreographed “Naatu Naatu” and its hook-step, says that while it took almost 20 days for actors Ram Charan and Jr NTR to finish the song’s shoot, neither of them slacked when it came to their dedication towards the award-winning track. Prem, who has worked on several blockbuster Telugu films, recalls his reaction when he saw that “Naatu Naatu” has won a Golden Globe.

What song is going to happen, what is the concept, everything.” While the artistes took around 20 days to rehearse and shoot “Naatu Naatu”, Prem invested two months to prepare the steps for the dance. “Naatu Naatu” is a very high-on-energy dance number but the actors didn’t want any breaks while shooting the song. “The actors didn’t want any breaks because they are very dedicated. Both Charan sir and Tarak annaya are very dedicated,” says Prem and he adds, “Whatever I told them, they did it. After the pack-up, Rajamouli sir used to do rehearsals with us. So, we would wake up at 6 am and sleep b...

The triumph of the globally popular Telugu song Naatu Naatu from SS Rajamouli's RRR at the Academy Awards is a "proud moment for India", says Prem Rakshith, the choreographer behind the newly-minted Best Original Song winner. Naatu Naatu, composed by MM Keeravaani and penned by Chandrabose, now has the distinction as the first Indian song to win an Oscar. AR Rahman and Gulzar's Jai Ho! had previously won an Oscar in the same category but it was for Slumdog Millionaire, the 2008 British production. From being nervous, emotional to screaming out of joy, the cast and crew of the pan-India blockbuster went through a roller-coaster of emotions as the nominees were introduced at Los Angeles' jam-packed Dolby Theatre that served as the venue for the ceremony. In an exclusive interview with PTI, Rakshith said he is at a loss for words in this moment of elation, a feeling he shares with the entire country. Also Read: “I am very, very happy. I am blank right now, I don't know how to react. This is the first time we got this (Oscar award), no words to describe (my feelings). This is a very proud moment for India,” the choreographer told PTI over phone from Los Angeles. While the force was strong with Naatu Naatu -- sung by Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava -- at the global stage, Rakshith said for a split second there was a doubt that the song might lose out to Hollywood music icons Rihanna and Lady Gaga's equally celebrated tracks.
