Keeravani's amazing beats aside, one of the reasons for Naatu Naatu's overwhelming acceptance and global popularity is the insane choreography by Prem Rakshith. He left no stone unturned to make the four minutes and 35 seconds-long track a treat to watch. The perfect synchronization between the film's leading men Ram Charan and Jr. NTR, who are regarded as one of the bests in the Telugu film industry, uplifted the already charged song.
