Pawan then is greeted with a warm hug from Ram, Varun, his sister-in-law Surekha, Niharika, and his mother, Anjana Devi.</p>

<p>Pawan then bows down and touches his brother, actor Chiranjeevi’s feet. Chiranjeevi pulls his leg before garlanding him. After clicking pictures with all the family members, Pawan cuts a massive cake while Sai whistles in happiness. Anna can also be seen hugging Upasana Konidela and Pawan touches his mother and sister-in-law’s feet too.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Pawan’s ex-wife and Akira’s mother, actress Renu Desai too shared a video on her Instagram explaining that their son made a video edit for his father.&nbsp;</p>

Chiranjeevi returned to Hyderabad on Friday evening and spoke to the press at the airport. He said, “I would like to thank everyone from my directors and co-stars to producers for having a hand in me getting a Padma Vibhushan today. It’s years of hard work, and I’m glad the government recognised that. Putting aside my philanthropic ventures, the people who love me got me here.”<br />

Several Telugu actors, over the years, have expressed their opinion on how the late actor-politician Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao deserves a posthumous Bharat Ratna. When Chiranjeevi was asked about the same, the actor said, “I also believe NTR deserves a Bharat Ratna, just like MGR (MG Ramachandran). I hope the government considers it, and I look forward to it becoming a reality.”</p>

<p>Speaking to ANI outside the airport, Ram Charan expressed his sentiments, stating, "It's a long wait, we are all very honoured to be there."</p>

It's a rare opportunity one can get. I feel Lord Hanuman, who is my deity, has personally invited me. It's such an overwhelming feeling what I have been undergoing.

Ram Charan and Upasana's Oscars video sets new record

<p>It's been a little over a month since the iconic song <em>Naatu Naatu</em> from <em>RRR</em> created history at the Oscar Awards 2023. The song, composed by MM Keeravani and written by Chandrabose became the first song from an Indian production to win the Best Original Song Oscar. The blockbuster song was also performed at the ceremony and fans of <em>RRR</em> had hoped for actors Ram Charan and Jr NTR to recreate the magic on stage just like they did in the film. But instead of actors, dancers performed to the infectious beats as singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kala Bhairava performed live on stage</p>

<p>Now, weeks later actor Ram Charan has revealed that he was keen to perform on the song on the Oscar stage.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
" I was ready, I was 100 per cent ready to get that call but I truly don’t know what happened. But let’s not talk about it because the troupe who did it there, they were fantastic and they did a better job than us. I have done it so many times, and at so many stages at different awards and interviews. So now, it is for us to relax and enjoy the show and (watch) somebody else perform for India... I feel it is no longer our song, it is India's song, it is junta's (people) song, they have taken us to the (Oscars) carpet," said the actor at a media conclave recently.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The actor stated he was waiting for a call from the Academy to perform on stage but did not receive one.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Earlier it was alleged that both Jr NTR and Ram Charan were not comfortable performing at the Oscar stage which Ram denied.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The song was ultimately performed by a dance troupe and presented on the Oscar stage by Deepika Padukone.&nbsp;<br />

<p>After <em>RRR</em>, Ram Charan is all set for another new project. The actor turned 38 today (March 27), and on his special day, the makers of his next film have unveiled the title of his next film, i.e., <em>Game Changer</em>, along with his first look. Directed by Shankar, the film also stars Kiara Advani as the female lead. This film is the first collaboration between the director and the actors Ram and Kiara.<br />
<br />
Earlier in the day, the makers dropped an intriguing teaser for the film. The clip opened up with the visuals of a ball rolling on the roulette board, and in the last, the name of the film appears.<br />

<p>Few hours later, the makers released the first poster of Ram from the film, and he's looking outstanding. In the black and white poster, Ram&nbsp;is sporting a rough look. Looking at this, it seems like the film is going to be intense and full of action.</p>

After RRR, Ram Charan is all set for another new project. The actor turned 38 today (March 27), and on his special day, the makers of his next film have unveiled the title of his next film, i.e., Game Changer, along with his first look. Directed by Shankar, the film also stars Kiara Advani as the female lead. This film is the first collaboration between the director and the actors Ram and Kiara. Earlier in the day, the makers dropped an intriguing teaser for the film. The clip opened up with the visuals of a ball rolling on the roulette board, and in the last, the name of the film appears. Tributes pour in for Malayalam's veteran actor Innocent. Few hours later, the makers released the first poster of Ram from the film, and he's looking outstanding. In the black and white poster, Ram is sporting a rough look. Looking at this, it seems like the film is going to be intense and full of action. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ram Charan (@alwaysramcharan) × ''I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday gift!! #GameChanger.'' he captioned the poster. The film also stars Anjali, SJ Suryah, Jayaram, Sunil, Srikanth, Naveen Chandra, Nassar, Samuthirakani, Raghu Babu and others in the key roles.

At the Dolby Theatres in Los Angeles, the original singers of the Telugu hit, Rahul Sipligunj and Kala Bhairava, gave an outstanding performance of&nbsp;the song, which was performed by a bunch of American dancers.</p>

<p>Despite all the crazy reactions to the historic performance, it also faced backlash from a group of people, who were left disappointed after not seeing their favourite stars performing the signature step on the global stage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However now, the lead actor of the film <em>RRR</em>, Ram Charan, who is now back in India, has reacted to the mindblowing performance of ''Naatu Naatu'' as he revealed that he was 100 per cent ready to perform the song on the Academy stage.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Speaking at India Today conclave, the actor said, “I was 100 per cent ready to get that call but I truly don’t know what happened.''<br />
<br />
“I have done it so many times and on so many stages, now it’s for us to relax and enjoy the show and see somebody else perform for India. I feel it is no longer our song, it is India’s song. It’s the people who have taken us to the carpet,” he said at the event.</p>

<p>Further praising the dance performance, the 37-year-old added, ''But let’s not talk about it because the troupe who did it there, they were fantastic and they did a better job than us.''<br />

“In late February, we were informed that Ram Charan and N.T. Rama Rao Jr. would be attending the Oscars, but they did not feel comfortable performing the live number on stage.

Ram Charan rebuts reports claiming he refused to perform at Oscars, says ‘I was 100 per cent ready’

<p>It has happened. <em>RRR </em>song 'Naatu Naatu' has created history by winning an Oscar for Best Original Song. The SS Rajamouli film became the first Indian production to win an Oscar. Previously, many Indians, including costume designer Bhanu Athaiya (for <em>Gandhi</em>) and composer AR Rahman (for <em>Slumdog Millionaire</em>), have won the Academy Award statuette, but for British or American productions (though <em>Gandhi</em> was a joint Indian and British production). <em>RRR</em>, featuring Ram Charan and Jr NTR in lead roles, thus created history. Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody, and Olivia Morris were also in the film's cast. &nbsp;</p>

<p>But how did <em>RRR </em>enter categories that a typical Indian film production does not?</p>

<h2>What was RRR all about?</h2>

<p><em>RRR</em> follows two real-life revolutionaries who took on the might of the British Empire in the early 20th century. Alluri Sitarama Raju (Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Rama Rao) join forces in 1920 to fight the colonialists. The film's title, <em>RRR</em>, stands for "Roudram Ranam Rudhiram" which means "Revolt, Battle, Bloodshed" in Telugu.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>How <em>RRR&nbsp;</em>became a phenomenon?</h2>

<p>Rajamouli has always been an expert at crafting cinematic set pieces. We saw that ability play a big part in the Baahubali movies. He is extremely careful about the technical aspects of his films. That done, he creates sequences that may not follow logic, and they are not meant to, but are wildly entertaining once you surrender your faculties to the film. He makes no pretence of creating action that follows the laws of physics or any such thing. He delivers crazy, outlandish, gravity and logic-defying spectacle that you have to enjoy on his own terms. <em>RRR </em>is the most Rajamouli-ish Rajamouli has ever been. In India, the film was quite a big hit, but we have seen such big, masala-stuffed films before, though nothing on that scale.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The rest of the world? They hadn't. And the movie being available on Netflix made sure the commitment to watch the admittedly fairly long movie wasn't that big. And they simply fell under the spell cast by Rajamouli. As per author and <em>Doctor Strange </em>co-screenwriter C. Robert Cargill said&nbsp;<em>RRR </em>"is a level of spectacle that defies description."</p>

<p>As the world danced to the tunes of 'Naatu Naatu' for the better part of last year, it became increasingly clear to many that the film, and particularly its song, had awards potential, and could even win the biggest cinema honour of them all: an Oscar. The film had been a huge success when it was released in India. The presence of Hindi film stars Devgn and Bhatt made sure that <em>RRR</em>, like Rajamouli's own Baahubali movies, truly became a pan-Indian film.</p>

<h2>India's Oscar snub</h2>

<p>Like many countries, India was going to send an entry for Oscar's foreign film category (precisely, the Best International Feature Film category). Many hoped and expected it was going to be <em>RRR</em>. The buzz was at an all-time high after all. But the Film Federation of India chose Pan Nalin's <em>Chhello Show </em>(or Last Film Show) instead.</p>

<h2>For your Consideration campaign</h2>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OsU0CGZoV8E" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>But the snub by the film's own country did not seem to hurt <em>RRR</em>. By then the film had become humongous in the US. The film's American distributor Variance Films and Rajamouli submitted the film to the Oscars in 14 categories in 'For Your Consideration' campaign. It was Variance Films' confidence in the film's chances that made <em>RRR </em>an unlikely hopeful for Oscars' major categories. <em>RRR </em>was also promoted to take the Oscar statuette in Best Supporting Actor (Ajay Devgn), Best Supporting Actress (Alia Bhatt), Screenplay, Score, Editing, Cinematography, Sound, Production Design, VFX, and other categories.<br />
<br />
Variance Films president Dylan Marchetti told Variety when <em>RRR</em> was snubbed in September last year, “Over the last six months, we have seen the joy that S.S. Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’ has brought to global audiences. We have seen the film gross over $140 million worldwide to become one of India’s highest grossing films of all time and become the first film in history to trend globally on Netflix for over 14 weeks. We have seen the film fill up theaters with cheering audiences months after its initial release, including the historic TCL Chinese IMAX theater in Hollywood, where it will play next Friday to an audience that sold out of one of the largest theaters in the country in just 15 minutes. Most importantly, we have heard fans from around the world tell us that they believe this is one of the best films of the year from any nation. We agree. We proudly invite the Academy to consider RRR in all categories.”</p>

<p>Thankfully, <em>RRR </em>fulfilled all the conditions to be considered in different Oscar categories. An Oscar hopeful project should release in at least one American theatre between 1 January and 31 December of the year (2022 in this year). <em>RRR </em>was released on March 4, 2022. Also, the film was released in Indian earlier than in the US. But that is allowed,&nbsp;but no earlier than 1 January of the year before the consideration year (2021 in this case).</p>

<p><em>RRR </em>was ultimately snubbed in most categories in Oscar nominations, though it did get a Best Original Song nod. The Golden Globe win earlier this year only boosted the film's chances at Oscars, and finally, 'Naatu Naatu' is an Oscar-winning song.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film has already won a Golden Globe for the song 'Naatu Naatu' and is up for an Oscar in the same category. It was a huge hit in India and even earned respectable money through a limited release in overseas markets like North America and Europe.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/golden-globs-2023-rrr-creates-history-551686/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>But it was the Netflix release worldwide that catapulted the film from the 'mildly popular' category to a worldwide sensation. 'Naatu Naatu' has become something of a phenomenon across the world, with thousands of people recreating the song's choreography and sharing it on social media sites. The song will be performed during the Oscars later this month.</p>

<p>Everyone from comedians to actors to filmmakers in Hollywood has found themselves transfixed by the audacious action of the film and the direction of Rajamouli. The director had similarly enjoyed rapturous responses the world over for his Baahubali movies, though <em>RRR </em>arguably has had an even bigger impact.</p>
