Golden Globes 2023: AR Rahman calls MM Keeravaani’s Best Original Song win for RRR’s ‘Naatu Naatu’ an ‘Incredible…Paradigm shift’ – Times of India
The Telugu track, was composed by veteran music director MM Keeravaani and sung by Kala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj. There to receive the award was Keeravaani, who found himself struggling to hold back tears as he took to the stage.
For his winning speech, Keeravaani said, “It’s been an age-old practice to say that this award actually belongs to someone else. So I was planning to not say those words when I get an award like this, but I’m sorry to say I’m going to repeat the tradition because I mean my words.”
