American actor and dancer Lauren Gottlieb will be performing to Naatu Naatu song at the Oscars 2023. She was a runner-up in Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa Season 6. She made her debut in Bollywood with the dance film ABCD: Any Body Can Dance directed by Remo D’Souza where she played the lead role.
Naatu Naatu song has been nominated in Best Original Song category. In last 2 decades, RRR is the 1st Indian Film to be nominated at the Oscars (last was Lagaan in 2001). Naatu Naatu is the 1st Indian Song to be nominated at the Oscars. RRR is directed by SS Rajamouli and film stars Jr. NTR and Ram Charan in the lead roles. The music of Naatu Naatu is composed by MM Keeravani. The song is sung by Kaala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj.
Earlier there were rumours that Jr. NTR and Ram Charan will be performing to the song at the Oscars. Speaking to KTLA (a Television station in Los Angeles, California) Jr. NTR said, “I don’t think that’s happening. I was looking forward for it to happen. But, unfortunately, we didn’t have time to rehearse. Because we don’t want to go on to the biggest stage in the world and go unprepared. So, we were busy, I was busy and so was maybe Charan busy with a lot of prior commitments back home. So, I don’t think we will be performing but our music director MM Keeravani, the singers of the song Rahul Sipligunj, and my brother Kaala Bhairava, they will be performing the song. I think it will be nice for me to sit in the audience and watch the song because the moment I watch that clip, my legs have started aching all over again.”
Lauren shared the news on her Instagram handle by writing, “SPECIAL NEWS!!! I’m performing on ‘Naatu Naatu’ at the OSCARS!!!!!! I’m beyond excited to represent India on the most prestigious stage in the world. Wish me luck!!!” She posted the picture with the famous Hollywood sign in the background which is in Los Angeles.
