An interesting fact about the electrifying song that has left the world grooving is that it was shot outside Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's official residence, news agency ANI reported.

Filming for the award-winning song took place at the Mariinskyi Palace (Ukraine Presidential Palace) in Kyiv, a few months before the onset of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine.

RRR’s Naatu Naatu on Wednesday bagged Best Original Song at the Golden Globe Awards and composer MM Keeravani collected the award.

While it managed to win in the Best Original Song category, the Telugu Blockbuster lost to Santiago Mitre's historical drama "Argentina, 1985" in the best picture non english category.
