Beating the visually enriching Avatar: The Way of Water, The Fabelmans emerged the winner of Best film-drama at the 80th Golden Globe Awards, while House of the Dragon bagged the Best TV series-drama. Pinocchio won the Best animated film award and the Indian blockbuster film RRR also made the nation proud as its peppy dance number Naatu Naatu won at the Golden Globes 2023 for the Best Original Song.

MM Keeravani also known as MM Kreem and Maragathamani is the music composer who made India proud on the global platform. MM Keeravani revealed in some interactions that other songs from RRR were more emotional compared to Naatu Naatu. If you watch S S Rajamouli’s film carefully, the song begins with the visuals followed by the beats and then the song.

The visuals play a very important role in the entire composition. Actor Ram Charan’s wife Upasana Kamineni Konidela shared that the mesmerising sequence was shot in Ukraine.

“Such an honour to be a part of the RRR family. Proudly representing and winning for Indian Cinema. Thank you, Mr C [Ram Charan] and SS Rajamouli Garu for making me part of this journey. From shooting in Ukraine to the Golden Globe Awards, you have taught me that clarity of thought, hard work and perseverance pays off,” Konidela shared on social media.

The RRR team had also shared about their Ukraine shoot. It was a ‘two-week-long electrifying song schedule in #Ukraine.’

Visual effects veteran Srinivas Mohan who was an integral part of the film’s shoot, led 18 studios and delivered 2,800 VFX shots. In an exclusive interview he revealed to Animation Xpress that 70-80 per cent of the shots were done using CGI, which he termed as invisible effects.

“In RRR, my challenge was to make everything invisible and as photorealistic as possible. That way we reached the next level of visual effects,” Mohan had said.
