Talking about India's performance at the Academy Awards so far, Bhanu Athaiya bagged the Oscars in 1983 for designing the costumes in the 1982 historical film Gandhi. In 2009, a British film set in India Slumdog Millionaire bagged 4 Oscars.

Music Maestro AR Rahman who gave the music to this film won the Oscars for Best Original Song and Best Original Score. Gulzar won the prestigious award for Best Lyrics for the same film and Resul Pookutty got the Oscars in the `Best Sound Mixing` category. Coming back to `RRR`, the film is a fictional story based on the lives of two Telugu freedom fighters, Alluri Seetharama Raju and Komaram Bheem. Ram Charan and Jr NTR played lead roles, respectively. The film collected over Rs 1,200 crore worldwide. Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran also starred in the film.

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

Earlier, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, SS Rajamouli opened up on what it was like missing out on a chance to be India’s official Oscars entry. He said, “Yeah, it is disappointing. But we are not the kind of people who would sit and brood on why it didn’t happen. What has happened has happened and we should go forward with it. But I am happy because it (Chhello Show) is also an Indian film and it has also been shortlisted for Oscars. I’m quite happy for it. Of course, everyone knew RRR had a much bigger chance. Here (in the US) everyone felt RRR had a bigger chance.”
