With Naatu Naatu from RRR being nominated for the Best Original Song category at the 95th Academy Awards, congratulations have poured in for SS Rajamouli, composer Keeravani and the team of RRR from all corners. From industry heavyweights like megastar Chiranjeevi to victory Venkatesh, everybody from the tinsel town congratulated team RRR and extended their best wishes for the Oscars.

Rajamouli’s colleague Sukumar too was not far behind. In a unique tribute of sorts, Sukumar, an absolute team man, posted a picture with his team where in the main chair, where the group head sits, is shown as left unoccupied. He said that all these years he left the chair empty, only for him to realise that Rajamouli is the right person to be seated upon it. “For all these years, in all my team meetings and discussions, I ended up leaving the principal chair empty involuntarily… but, now that I realise why I did so, SS Rajamouli Sir it is for you… The chair has always belonged to you and even in future it will be same,” wrote the filmmaker on his Facebook page on Wednesday, while congratulating the names behind the livewire track that Naatu Naatu is.

Oscars is set to be presented at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 12, 2023. American television host, comedian, writer, and producer Jimmy Kimmel will be hosting this year’s event.
