In his award acceptance speech earlier in the day, Keeravani had thanked Rajamouli for his “vision”.

“It has been an age-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 had said.

The music director 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 had said. Naatu Naatu has already made it to the 95th Academy Awards shortlist for best original song, along with 14 others. RRR was also nominated for the Golden Globe of best picture-non English category, an award it lost to Argentina 1985.
