Charan's take on performance
Speaking to Letterboxd, Charan said, "We would love to do Naatu Naatu anywhere that we are being appreciated, but not every place accommodates us to perform." "If we're at the Oscars, and there's a request, and there's time, why not? We'll be more than happy to entertain our audience, who have given us so much." Many artists are slated to perform at the Oscars.
