It accompanies a pivotal scene in RRR, a film depicting the friendship between real-life Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem."

She further added, "Not only is it sung in Telugu, highlighting the film’s anti-colonialist themes, but it’s also an absolute hit. With millions of views on YouTube and TikTok, it has audiences dancing in movie theaters worldwide. Remarkably, it's the first song from an Indian production ever to be nominated for an Oscar.”
