NEW DELHI, March 14: Rajya Sabha Members of Parliament on Tuesday lauded the makers of “Naatu Naatu” from SS Rajamauli’s film “RRR”, and the documentary “The Elephant Whisperers” for winning two Oscars for India.
Leader of Opposition and Congress president M Mallikarjun Kharge took a dig at the ruling party BJP and stated that they should not say Prime Minister Narendra Modi has “directed” the movie. In a lighter temper, he also said that the BJP should not conclude to claim credit for the Oscars.
