Bhairava's BGM is what inspired me to go ahead with Naatu Naatu after hesitating for a long time. Love you Bhairi babu, super energetic vocals by Rahul and Bhairava enhanced the song. The main reason is Tarak and Charan's sync and style. They danced their way into the hearts of audiences across the globe, sorry for the torture. But I will not hesitate to do it again."
