Guneet’s opportunity to accept the award was cut short, which garnered a lot of criticism online, while MM Keeravani accepted it on stage and praised director SS Rajamouli. In a recent interview, MM Keeravani disclosed that Guneet Monga was later admitted to the hospital due to shortness of breath.
RRR, directed by SS Rajamouli, a magnum opus film made history by taking home the Oscar for Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu. Chandrabose, the lyricist for Naatu Naatu, MM Keeravani, Rajamouli, his family, Ram Charan, Jr. NTR, and their respective wives all attended the Oscars’ main ceremony. Yet, if rumours are to be believed, everyone else on Team RRR had to pay a hefty fee to attend the Oscars, with the exception of composer MM Keeravani and lyricist Chandrabose.
MM Keeravani and Chandrabose’s helmed ‘Naatu Naatu’ from ‘RRR’ stood out brilliantly amongst the lot and bagged the coveted award.
The Oscars 2023 has been special for India, as 4 nominations have been bagged by films crafted in India. The Chhello Show, RRR for the Best Original Song Naatu Naatu, Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes for Best Documentary Feature Film and Guneet Monga’s The Elephant Whisperers for Best Documentary Short have been shortlisted for the coveted awards.
The highly engaging plot of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” multiverse featuring a sci-fi indie universe had nabbed the maximum nominations at the 95th edition of Academy Awards. Some more nominations have been bagged by big-screen movies like “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water”.
