Music composer M.M. Keeravaani said on receiving the honour: "Thank you Academy. I grew up listening to the carpenter here I am at the Oscars. There was only one wish on my mind... So was Rajamouli's and my family... 'RRR', pride of every Indian. Thank you."

'Naatu Naatu' has already won a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award this year.

'RRR' stars NTR Jr., Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt and Shriya Saran and tells the fictional story of two real-life Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem and their fight against the British Raj.

Set in the 1920s, the plot explores the undocumented period in their lives when both the revolutionaries chose to go into obscurity before they began the fight for their country.
