EXCLUSIVE interview with Naatu Naatu Choreographer

Naatu Naatu, filmed on the movie's leading stars Jr NTR and Ram Charan in SS Rajamouli’s RRR won the 'best original song-motion picture' award at the 80th Golden Globes.

Choreographer Prem Rakshith said some 100 variations of the hook steps, two months of rehearsals and 20 days of shooting... that's what went into creating Naatu Naatu.

"For the song, Rajamouli sir said Jr NTR is like a tiger and Charan sir is like a cheetah so capture that essence in the song,” said Rakshith.

"He (Rajamouli) said the concentration had to be on the heroes, their bonding, their energy,” Rakshith added.

"It took us days for the song to be shot against the backdrop of the Mariinskyi Palace in Kyiv," Rakshit said.
