M M Keeravaani is over the moon after the Oscar nominations were announced on January 24.
His song Naatu Naatu in his first cousin S S Rajamouli’s RRR has secured a nomination for Best Original Song.
“After Naatu Naatu won the Golden Globe, I was confident of the journey. I knew we were on the right track. I am confident we will bring home the Oscar.
