A lot of celebrities along with fans took to the comments section to congratulate them on their massive win and sent their best wishes.
When Marc Malkin of 'Variety' asked Ram Charan about the song, he said, "My knees still wobble talking about it today. It was a beautiful torture and look where it has got us." On being asked whether Rajamouli was hard on them during the terrific action sequences, Rajamouli said that he took care of them like babies.
He said, "I took care of them like babies. No one ever got hurt." to which Ram Charan added, "He spanked the babies too."
On the positive response 'RRR' has been getting in the run-up to the awards, Rajamouli said: "It humbles me that I get love from so many people." In the same spirit, NTR Jr had told 'Variety' in another red carpet interview: "We thought we had a winner, but it turned out to be more than a winner ... you don't expect this to happen."
There's no doubt that the song was a sensation not only in India but became a hit globally as well. When this track came on screen, the audience couldn't stop themselves from dancing.
RRR is based on the lives of two real-life Indian revolutionary heroes — Alluri Sitaram Raju and Komaram Bheem — who lived in the 1920s. The film made its worldwide theatrical premiere on 24 March 2022.
