According to Indian Express, Prem Rakshith, the choreographer of the film, it took more than ahundred steps for them to complete the song.
"I have done more than 1000 songs but those songs never went to Oscars. Because of this movie (RRR), it went there," Rakshith reflected on his win. "Otherwise, I can't imagine going there. It is because RRR is so good and the way it is presented that everyone has enjoyed the movie and the song. I am so thankful to Rajamouli sir. This is his vision and his hard work."
