This song became the first song from a Tollywood film to win "best original song" at the Oscars, outshining other international superstars like Lady Gaga and Rihanna. It was the first dance number of its kind to air on a US national award show and received rave reviews from viewers as they experienced the electrifying vibrance that encapsulates Tollywood.

The "Once Upon A Time" Tour is brought to you by Shri Balaji Entertainment, a promoter known in DMV to bring the biggest stars including Shreya Ghoshal, Neha Kakkar, Sonu Nigam, and Atif Aslam, now bringing the next rising superstar of global music, Anirudh.

Rahman, Salim-Sulaiman, and Anirudh.
