Jr NTR is now in the US for the Oscars 2023 ceremony on Sunday. It will be telecast in India on Monday morning. He did an interview with Entertainment Tonight where he revealed the hardest part of the song. He said that his legs still hurt with that intense choreography. But it is not that it is the toughest part of the song. Jr NTR said that lip sync of that song was the toughest. He said they practised before they left for Ukraine where they shot the number, before the actual shoot and even when the shoot was on. This is a testimony to the kind of hard work that has gone in for the song. Also Read - South news weekly rewind: RRR wins the Oscar 2023 for Naatu Naatu, Yash to join Prabhas in Salaar, and more
