The film’s director Rajamouli, who shot to fame for his movie ‘Bahubali’, in his acceptance speech said: “Aaah! The best international film...Again to all my fellow filmmakers in India, it is for all of us to believe we can truly make International films! Thank you HCA for that...it means a lot. Thank you very much...a lot. Jai Hind."
Meanwhile, Ram Charan said while accepting the award: “I didn't expect to come up (on the) stage, because I was told by my director to accompany him, so...thank you so much for giving us all this love, it's just a great response, so we're going to come back with better films and entertain you all. Thank you so much, thank you HCA.”
The movie is a fictitious story about two legendary fighters – Alluri Seetharamaraju, played by Ram Charan, and Komaram Bheem, played by Jr N.T. Rama Rao (also known as NTR).

Naatu Naatu also won the Best Song at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles.
The movie has also been nominated for Oscars.
