It was an honourable moment for India as ‘Naatu Naatu’ was also performed on the Oscars stage, making it the first Indian song to have been performed on such a global platform. Even though it was not Jr NTR and Ram Charan who performed the song live, the dancers did a fantastic job of putting up an energetic performance in front of the global audience.
