Kaala Bhairava apologises as he misses out on thanking Ram Charan and NTR Jr for success of ‘Naatu Naatu’: ‘I sincerely apologise for my choice of words’

He added, “@ssrajamouli Baba, Naanna, @premrakshith_choreographer Master, @sskarthikeya Anna, Amma, and Peddhamma. It’s because of their hard work and workmanship that the song has reached all parts of the world and is making people dance globally and that’s how I got this chance. Also, regarding the glorious run in USA – Dylan, Josh and the whole team with their persistent efforts and dedication, made this possible.”

The singer concluded by saying that he is happy about being a part of Team RRR. He wrote, “I can and never will forget the fact that I wouldn’t have had a chance to have this beautiful experience if not for them. I’m just lucky for being given a share of credit in this because in reality, the merit is theirs. Blessed to be even the tiniest part of Team RRR!”

As people took notice of his post, they called him out for not expressing gratitude to Ram Charan and Jr NTR. One of them commented on his tweet, “So basically NTR and Charan didn’t add any value according to you?” Another added, “where is the Credit sharing to Chandrabose garu, Charan and Tarak ?” One user also wrote, “It is sad to see that no one is caring to thank Tarak and Charan. Without their performance and magnetic presence on the screen, it wouldn’t have gotten so much attention.”

I have no doubt Tarak anna and Charan anna are the reason for the success of naatu naatu and RRR itself.
