Oscars 2024: The 96th Academy Awards ceremony brought back fond memories for fans of the blockbuster 'RRR' on Monday. The film, directed by S.S. Rajamouli, made a surprise double appearance during the show.
First, when Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt presented a special tribute to stunt performers in cinema, a thrilling action scene from 'RRR' featuring stars Jr. NTR and Ram Charan was showcased amongst clips from international films. This exciting snippet reignited excitement for the movie's high-octane action sequences.
Later, during the presentation for Best Original Score, a familiar melody filled the background as Cynthia Erivo and Ariana DeBose took the stage. It was none other than the beloved 'Naatu Naatu' song, which won the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 95th Academy Awards in 2023.
