SS Rajamouli’s RRR song Naatu Naatu, composed by MM Keeravaani, won the Golden Globe Award in the Best Original Song category. Social media platforms are flooded with congratulatory messages for the makers of the film for their historic victory.
On Wednesday, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy congratulated RRR team and said the ‘Telugu flag is flying high’. However, his tweet did not go down well with singer Adnan Sami who asked the CM not to separate Andhra Pradesh from the rest of the country.

Replying to his tweet, the singer wrote, “Telugu flag? You mean INDIAN flag right? We are Indians first & so kindly stop separating yourself from the rest of the country…Especially internationally, we are one country! This ‘separatist’ attitude is highly unhealthy as we saw in 1947!!! Thank you…Jai HIND.”
