Keeravani's track Naatu Naatu also received the best music core award at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association (LAFCA) recently. This lyrical composition of 'Naatu Naatu' by MM Keeravani, high energy rendition by singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava, unique choreography by Prem Rakshith, and lyrics by Chandrabose are all the elements that make this 'RRR' mass anthem a perfect dance craze.
'RRR' stars NTR Junior, Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody and Olivia Morris. It centres around two real-life Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem, their fictional friendship and their fight against the British Raj. Set in the 1920s, the plot explores the undocumented period in their lives when both the revolutionaries chose to go into obscurity before they began the fight for their country.
The movie was released theatrically on 25 March 2022. Made on a budget of ₹550 crore ($72 million), it is the most expensive Indian film to date. With ₹240 crore (US$30 million) worldwide on its first day, RRR recorded the highest opening-day earned by an Indian film. The film smashed several world box office records for an Indian film, becoming the third highest-grossing Indian film and second highest-grossing Telugu film worldwide.
