He humbly acknowledged that it was far from perfect but fun.
In his Twitter post, the ambassador had tagged the South Korean embassy, actor Ram Chatan, and others in the movie.
The viral video shows Dr Ackermann getting off an autorickshaw in Delhi Chandni Chowk and asking one of the shopkeepers, "Yahi hai India ka world famous? (Is this India's world-famous?).
In response to his question, the shopkeeper gives him a plate of Chandni Chowk's famous Jalebi.
Later in the dance video, Dr Philipp Ackermann gathered on the road with his team members in front of the Red Fort. They started to perform the viral dance steps from the movie, with the "Naatu Naatu" song playing in the background.
The crowd present there cheered them on their efforts to dance and perform.
All this occurred as part of the German ambassador to India Dr Philipp Ackermann's effort to organise a flash mob to dance to the Oscar-winning track 'Naatu Naatu' from SS Rajamaouli's film 'RRR'.
The ambassador also urged others to perform and dance to the song and added the hashtag #embassychallenge.
The post received a lot of reactions on the micro-blogging platform.
