Naatu Naatu choreographer thanks Rajamouli for his praise: ‘Grateful for your trust in me’

RRR's Naatu Naatu Choreographer Prem Rakshit penned down a note for director SS Rajamouli for his kind words. The filmmaker recently praised him after the success of the song across the world.

Choreographer Prem Rakshit, who’s the mastermind behind the peppy steps in Naatu Naatu song from RRR, took to Twitter to thank filmmaker SS Rajamouli, who heaped praise on his contribution to making the track a global phenomenon. The song Naatu Naatu from SS Rajamouli-directed RRR has entered the Oscars race in the Best Original Song category.

Choreographer Prem Rakshit thanked SS Rajamouli after the success of RRR's Naatu Naatu.

Over the last few months, several videos of western audiences seen dancing in the theatre to the song have surfaced on social media. Rakshit shared a video of SS Rajamouli talking about the choreography of Naatu Naatu and his contribution to making the song so irresistibly foot-tapping.

In response to the video, Rakshit wrote: “I thank my guru, @ssrajamouli sir for this kind words towards me. I'm glad you enjoyed my work and appreciated my contribution. I’m grateful for ur trust in me & the opportunity to prove myself once again as a trustworthy choreographer for #RRRMovie. Love u so much sir.”

Talking about representing the entire country on a global level, he added, “It’s a great space we are all in right now. I feel like it’s a responsibility more than an achievement. I just don’t want it to be a one-time wonder. It’s a consistent process where we strive to do and come back again and again to the Oscars or Golden Globes.”

Released last March in cinemas, RRR is a fictional story set in the 1920s pre-independent era and is based on the lives of two real heroes and well-known revolutionaries.
