Oscars 2023: Ready To Dance? Naatu Naatu Singers Rahul Sipligunj, Kaala Bhairava To Perform Live At The Event

Break out those suspenders and dancing shoes, M.M. Keeravaani's joyously energetic anthem Naatu Naatu will be performed live at the Oscars, the show's producers said on Tuesday.

With music by Keeravaani and lyrics by Chandrabose, Naatu Naatu is one of the most memorable sequences from the Telgu-language action epic RRR with its catchy tune and accompanying dance by actors Ram Charan and N.T. Rama Rao Jr.

Singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava will make the journey to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to perform the song. Naatu Naatu has become a viral sensation outside of the film, racking up over 122 million views on YouTube and inspiring a Tik Tok challenge where users attempt to recreate the acrobatic dance-off.

South Korean Ambassador Chang Jae-bok's 53-second rendition has gotten over 4.8 million views since it was posted Sunday on Twitter.

The tune is competing for the best original song trophy- the blockbuster's sole nomination-against the likes of Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Mitski and David Byrne, and Diane Warren.

Rihanna will also be performing Lift Me Up, from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on Oscar night. More performances will be announced over the next two weeks. The 95th Oscars, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will be broadcast live globally on ABC on March 12.
