China kept its benchmark lending rates unchanged for the ninth month in May, as a weakening yuan and widening yield differentials with the United States limited the scope for any substantial monetary easing. Some analysts now expect the People's Bank of China (PBOC) could lower the amount of cash banks must set aside as its next policy move. The steady LPR fixings also came after the PBOC rolled over maturing medium-term lending facility (MLF) loans while keeping the interest rate unchanged last week.
Priyanka Chopra was trolled for referring to SS Rajamouli's Telugu blockbuster film RRR as a Tamil film. However, she remains unfazed by the hate comments and prefers to focus on the positives in her life. Priyanka has explored Hollywood at the peak of her career in the Hindi film industry and was recently seen in The Matrix Resurrections. She was in India to promote Citadel, backed by Russo Brothers' AGBO banner.
Rajamouli and his team spent a significant amount of money to promote their film RRR for the Oscars, with Ram Charan and NTR agreeing to share the cost. However, Danayya refused to contribute, and his banner was excluded from the picture. The film received only one nomination for Best Original Song, leaving NTR feeling dejected. Ram Charan is now moving ahead with his Hollywood connections, and it was the money of Rajamouli, Ram Charan, and NTR that brought the awards to Keeravani and Chandrabose.
Ram Charan's new movie team and director-choreographer Prabhudeva welcomed him back to the film sets with a giant garland and performing the song's signature step in a true Naatu Naatu style to celebrate the Oscar win of the song "Naatu Naatu" he featured in alongside Jr NTR. The team also honoured choreographer Prem Rakshith, who created the iconic steps of Naatu Naatu.
The German Ambassador to India and Bhutan, Dr Philipp Ackermann, and embassy staff celebrated the Oscar win of the song Naatu Naatu from the movie RRR by performing a flash mob dance in Chandni Chowk, Delhi. The act took two hours and involved 20 people from the embassy, including Germans and Indians, who wore Indian kurtas and Bavarian clothes. The dance was choreographed by Hash Aerobics and Dance Studio, and the idea was to get everyone out of their comfort zone. Last month, the Korean Embassy staff also participated in the dance video.
The Oscars are facing criticism for their performance of the hit song "Naatu Naatu" from the Indian film RRR, which featured no dancers of South Asian descent. The film's stars declined to perform, so choreographers hired non-South Asian dancers to stand in. South Asian professionals in the dance community are calling out the Oscars for ignoring the opportunity to feature more South Asian performers on such a massive stage. The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences has yet to issue an official statement in response to the critiques.
SS Rajamouli and the RRR team paid to attend the Oscars 2023 event in Los Angeles, where their song "Naatu Naatu" won the award for Best Original Song.
Ram Charan, the RRR actor, received a grand welcome by his fans in Hyderabad after landing at Begumpet Airport by a special aircraft. The fans showered petals on him and carried banners and posters hailing him as a global star.

Actor Ram Charan and wife Upasana returned to India after 'Naatu Naatu' from 'RRR' won Best Original Song at the Oscars. Ram Charan thanked the media and fans for their support and said that the song belongs to the nation, not just him.
The Oscars performance of "Naatu Naatu" from the Telugu-language film "RRR" failed to showcase any South Asian dancers on stage, leaving many in the community disappointed and outraged. Critics cited the casting of two non-South Asian lead dancers as an example of the challenges that face South Asian performers trying to gain a foothold in the business. The anger from South Asian creatives runs deeper than on-stage representation, though several noted with irony that hiring an ensemble to represent global diversity undercuts the original number’s anti-colonial message.
Director Rajamouli has teased the possibility of a sequel to his film "RRR" following its Oscar win for Best Original Song. He stated that work on "RRR 2" will begin soon, but it is unclear whether he will actually work on it or if he was just providing news to the Western media for their amusement. Rajamouli is set to begin work on his next film with Mahesh Babu later this year.
