Oscar-winning ‘RRR’ song ‘Naatu Naatu’ singer Kaala Bhairava shared a thanks note for everyone involved in making the song a success. But many have expressed their anger as he forgot to mention the lead actors of the film, Jr NTR and Ram Charan in his note.
Kaala Bhairava captioned his post saying, ‘Something I wanted to share with you all..’ His note read, “I want to share something with you all. I feel extremely grateful for having had the invaluable opportunity of representing team RRR and performing at the Oscars for the best original song category. On that note, I want to share with you that it’s only because of a few people who directly or indirectly, but ‘completely’ are the reason for me getting this priceless opportunity which I personally feel is far beyond how much I actually deserve!’
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.’
Many expressed their anger as they saw that he hadn’t mentioned the lead actors’ names in his note. ‘One said, So basically NTR and Charan didn’t add any value according to you?’
He responded to the comments and wrote, ‘I have no doubt Tarak anna and Charan anna are the reason for the success of naatu naatu and RRR itself. I was ONLY talking about who all helped me get my opportunity for the academy stage performance. Nothing else. I can see that it was conveyed wrongly and for that, I sincerely apologise for my choice of words.’
RRR’s ‘Naatu Naatu’ became the first Indian song to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
