Kaala Bhairava, who sang the Oscar-winning song Naatu Naatu, has apologised after a portion of social media users criticised him for omitting the names of RRR actors Ram Charan and Jr. NTR. Thursday on Twitter, he shared a post with the caption “Something I wanted to share with you all…”
His note stated, “I have something to share with you all. I am exceedingly grateful to have had the extraordinary opportunity to represent team RRR and perform at the Oscars for the category of best original song. On that note, I’d like to share with you that it’s only because of a handful of individuals who, directly or indirectly, but “completely,” are responsible for me receiving this priceless opportunity, which I feel is far more than I deserve.
I have no doubt Tarak anna and Charan anna are the reason for the success of naatu naatu and RRR itself.
I was ONLY talking about who all helped me get my opportunity for the academy stage performance. Nothing else.I can see that it was conveyed wrongly and for that, I… https://t.co/U3B4PdbDBM

Additionally, he wrote “@ssrajamouli Baba, Naanna, @premrakshith_choreographer Master, @sskarthikeye” Anna, Amma, and Peddhamma. As a result of their hard work and craftsmanship, the melody has reached every corner of the globe and is making people dance everywhere, which is how I received this opportunity. Also, regarding the glorious performance in the United States, Dylan, Josh, and the entire team made this possible through their persistent efforts and dedication.”
“I will never forget that, if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to have this magnificent experience. I’m merely fortunate to be given some credit for this, because in actuality, the credit belongs to them (100 emoji). The note concluded, “Blessed to be even the smallest part of Team RRR! ”
In response to the post, someone commented, “So basically NTR and Charan added no value in your opinion?” A Twitter user inquired, “Where is the credit sharing for Chandrabose garu, Charan, and Tarak?” “It’s a disgrace, Mr. Bhairava… I can say with pride and assurance that the song has only reached every corner of the globe because of NTR and Ramcharan, and not because of the vocals or music itself; everyone knows this in their hearts. “SSR deserves the lion’s share of the credit for bringing film to the international stage,” tweeted another user. A comment stated, “Had heroes not danced, the song would not have become popular.”
On Friday, the singer then sent out another tweet. “I have no doubt that Tarak anna and Charan anna are the reason why Naatu Naatu and RRR have been so successful. I was speaking EXCLUSIVELY about those who aided me obtain the opportunity to perform on the academy stage. Nothing further. I recognise that it was communicated incorrectly, and I repent sincerely for my choice of words,” he wrote.
