At the Academy awards ceremony, Keeravani gave an unusual acceptance speech that earned him several rounds of applause. He put his unique spin on the classic hit song by The Carpenters, 'Top of the World', which he and many others of his generation grew up listening and dancing to. Starting off with a nod to his childhood, Keeravani said, "I grew up listening to The Carpenters, and now here I am at the Oscars." He then proceeded to sing his own version of the 70s pop smash hit, incorporating a tribute to his work on 'RRR': "There was only one wish on my mind... 'RRR' had to win, the pride of every Indian, and put me on top of the world." Keeravani's speech was unconventional and memorable, showcasing his creativity and passion for his work.
