The Jr NTR-starrer film’s song 'Naatu Naatu' which also featured the film's co-lead Ram Charan was recently shortlisted for the Oscars in the Best Original Song category. It must be noted that being shortlisted for the Oscars is not the same as a nomination.

However, the fast-paced song has already bagged a Golden Globe nomination. Further, 'Naatu Naatu' composer M.M. Keeravani also got the accolade for Best Music Director from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
