Ram Charan further said that as a nominee, he would like to win the trophy and take it back to India. He also talked about RRR’s re-release in the U.S. and urged fans to watch it. 

“It will be the most surreal day in my life. I just want to be the guest on the show and now being a nominee for Best Original Song, I can't wait to take that (Academy Award) back to India. RRR is re-releasing tomorrow and I would want all of you to invest some time and it would definitely not disappoint you,"

RRR’s international accolades so far

The song Naatu Naatu recently claimed the Best Original Song award at the Hollywood Critics Association Film Awards.
