SS Rajamouli’s RRR created history at the Oscars 2023 after its popular track Naatu Naatu won the Best Original Song at the 95th Academy Awards. However, it was reported that Rajamouli and RRR stars Ram Charan and Jr NTR were not given free tickets to attend the prestigious awards ceremony.
Multiple media reports claimed that Naatu Naatu composer MM Keeravani and lyricist Chandra Bose and their respective wives were given free entry to the Oscars. However, SS Rajamouli and the rest of his team members had to pay a fee to witness the historic moment live. It was claimed that Rajamouli purchased tickets for himself and for other of his team members. This ticket was worth USD 25,000 per person which was close to Rs 20.6 lakh. Now, Rajamouli’s son SS Karthikeya has finally broken his silence over the viral reports.
