Ram Charan expressed immense joy as the Oscar-winning song “Naatu Naatu” from his blockbuster film RRR was featured at the 96th Academy Awards. During the Oscars ceremony on Sunday, visuals of the song were briefly displayed on the big screen as Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo presented the Best Original Song award. Sharing a clip from the ceremony on Instagram, Ram Charan wrote, “Real surprise. On the Oscars stage again. What an honour.”
