The Oscar-nominated song “Naatu Naatu,” an Indian Telugu song by RRR, will be performed at the 2023 Academy Awards.
“Naatu Naatu” is nominated for best original song, and Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava will perform the song. M.M. Keeravaani composed the song’s melody, and Chandrabose wrote the words.

Lady Gaga’s “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick is the last Oscar candidate for best original song.
