Ed Sheeran Knows More Than Naatu: RRR Makers React As Popstar Praises SS Rajamouli's Film

Ed Sheeran, who is in India for his third concert, recently opened up about his favourite things about the country. The British singer had previously performed here in 2015 and then again in 2017. Ahead of his third concert on March 16, the Photograph hitmaker, in an interview, expressed his admiration for Indian cinema.

Ed Sheeran is an RRR fan

RRR mania gripped the globe last year. Even a year after scripting history by securing an Oscar for the song Naatu Naatu, the conversation around the film refuses to die down. Most recently, the Ram Charan and Jr NTR starrer movie found a fan in British singer Ed Sheeran. 

The official handle of RRR shared a video of Ed Sheeran in which he can be heard heaping praises of the film. Mentioning the movie, the Shape Of You singer stated, “Just like the dancing in that, and it’s a fantastic film, it's like an epic three-hour film, and just the ability, the technical ability, to be able to do all of those things, I think it is impressive.” The official handle of the movie shared the video with the caption, “Do you know Naatu? Yay, @edsheeran knows more than Naatu..” For the unversed, this is a reference to Deepika Padukone’s 2023 Academy Awards speech wherein she took on the Academy stage to present the live performance of the song and opened her monologue by saying, “Do you all know Naatu?”
