The Oscars are scheduled to be held on March 12 in Los Angeles, and 'RRR' has created history by securing a nomination at the prestigious awards show.
The foot-tapping number from 'RRR', titled 'Naatu Naatu' has been nominated under the Best Original Song category at the Oscars.

Among those who will represent the 'RRR' contingent at the Oscars will be filmmaker SS Rajamouli, actors Ram Charan and Jr NTR, music composer MM Keeravani, and singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava.
'Naatu Naatu' will be performed live at the Oscars by the OG singers, Sipligunj and Bhairava. However, Ram Charan and Jr NTR, who originally danced to the song in the film and gave the world the iconic hookstep, won't be seen performing live at the awards show.
Instead, Bollywood actress and dancer Lauren Gottlieb is set to step in their shoes and she will be seen shaking a leg to 'Naatu Naatu' at Hollywood's biggest night.
