Receiving the honour on stage, Composer, MM Keeravaani, in his emotional speech said, “Thank you very much HFPA for this prestigious award, Golden Globe. I am very overwhelmed with this great moment happening and I am very happy to share this excitement with my wife. It’s been a practice to say that this award actually goes to someone else, so I was planning not to say those words when I get an award like this. But I am sorry to say, that I am going to repeat the tradition because I mean my words”


Adding further, he thanked, “This award belongs to, in order of priority, my brother and the director of this movie, SS Rajamouli, for his vision. I thank him for his constant trust in my work and support and Mr. Prem Rakshith who animated Naatu Naatu song and without him, this wouldn't have happened. Kaala Bhairava who has given wonderful arrangements to the song, Mr. Chanderbose for his wonderful words as a lyricist and Mr. Rahul Sipligunj along with Kaala Bhairava who rendered this song with high energy and NT Rama Rao and Ram Charan who danced with full stamina on the song.
