He expressed gratitude towards his uncle SS Rajamouli, father MM Keeravani, choreographer Prem Rakshith, SS Karthikeya, mother, and aunt in the note. Kaala Bhairava’s expression of gratitude has sparked a controversy due to the absence of Jr NTR and Ram Charan’s names in his thank-you note. The fans of lead actors Jr NTR and Ram Charan were quick to notice this and proceeded to troll Kaala Bhairava for the omission.

The singer promptly issued an apology through a Twitter message that stated, “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 sincerely apologise for my choice of words.”
‘Naatu Naatu’ bagged an Oscar award for the best original song. In the 95-year-long history of Academy awards, Naatu Naatu is the first Indian and Asian film song to bag the coveted award.
