In Delhi, Ram Charan and Chiranjeevi met Amit Shah. The home minister thanked them for winning the Oscar for the RRR song Naatu Naatu.

Actor Ram Charan spoke extensively about RRR, the Oscars, his acting career, and other topics while in Delhi for an event. Ram and actor-father Chiranjeevi visited with home minister Amit Shah in the meantime. The home minister congratulated them on RRR’s historic victory at the Oscars in 2023, where Naatu Naatu took home the prize for Best Original Music.

At the Delhi airport on Friday, Ram Charan was met by a swarm of admirers and supporters. At the 95th Academy Awards, RRR made history by becoming the first Indian production to win an Oscar for Original Song. Naatu Naatu was played live at the 2023 Oscars, and it received a standing ovation. The performance was launched on stage by actor Deepika Padukone.

On Friday, Ram tweeted, “Truly an honour to meet our honourable home minister Amit Shah ji… Thank you sir for appreciating the efforts of @RRRMovie…” Earlier, the home minister had tweeted their photos, and written, “Delighted meeting Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan — two legends of Indian cinema. The Telugu film industry has significantly influenced India’s culture and economy. Have congratulated Ram Charan on the Oscar win for the Naatu Naatu song and the phenomenal success of RRR

Ram Charan is seen giving Amit Shah a bunch of flowers in a video clip by the news agency ANI as Chiranjeevi is standing next to him. The actor attended the Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles alongside his wife Upasana, director SS Rajamouli of the RRR team, co-star Jr NTR, composer MM Keeravaani, and lyricist Chandrabose before flying back to Delhi. Ram Charan wore an all-black ensemble to the Oscar event, and his wife Upasana Konidela, who looked lovely in a cream designer saree, was with him.

Ram published a statement following the Oscar victory in which he discussed his emotions at the time. “RRR is and will always remain as the most special film of our lives and of Indian cinema history. I can’t thank everyone for manifesting the Oscar award. It still feels like I’m living in a dream,” he wrote, and thanked everyone for the unstoppable support and love.

Naatu Naatu genuinely rose to the status of a global phenomenon in recent months. RRR, a fictional tale set in the 1920s before independence, was released in theatres last March. It is based on the lives of two real heroes and well-known revolutionaries.
