Telugu superstar Ram Charan's birthday bash turned out to be another occasion where the success of RRR at the Oscar stage was celebrated. Charan's father actor Chiranjeevi took to Instagram on Tuesday to post a couple of pictures in which SS Rajamouli and MM Keeravani were felicitated for the historic win of 'RRR' on the Oscar stage.

Chiranjeevi wrote in the caption, "Honouring our Oscar winners in the presence of near and dear on @alwaysramcharan's birthday was a true celebration! This feat Telugus achieved for the Indian cinema shall remain etched in history!"

Helmed by SS Rajamouli, RRR is a fictional story based on the lives of two Telugu freedom fighters, Alluri Seetharaman Raju and Komaram Bheem. Ram Charan and Jr NTR played lead roles, respectively. The film collected over £120 million worldwide. Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn played essential characters in the movie.

RRR's power-packed song “Naatu Naatu” won the Oscar for 'Original Song' beating heavyweight contenders like Rihanna and Lady Gaga.

Before entering the Oscars, the song bagged awards on the global stage. In January, “Naatu Naatu” won the Golden Globes in the 'Best Original Song' category. Five days later, RRR bagged two more awards at the 28th edition of the Critics Choice Awards. One is for the best song and another is for the 'best foreign language film'.
