Watch: Naatu Naatu composer Keeravaani gets sweet surprise from Carpenters singer

When Indian composer M.M. Keeravaani went on the Dolby Theatre stage in Hollywood on March 12 to pick up his Best Original Song award for the song 'Naatu Naatu' from 'RRR' at this year’s Oscars, little did he realise that part of his acceptance speech that included a line from the 1972 hit, Top of the World, by the American band Carpenters, would catch the attention of the original Carpenters singer Richard Carpenter.

The legendary musician-singer and his children took to social media to congratulate Keeravaani and lyricist Chandrabose.

In the Instagram video clip, Richard can be seen playing the piano and singing along with the kids. “Heartfelt congratulations on your win for Best Original Song. Here is a little something from our family to you and yours,” Richard wrote in his post, as he and his troupe of young singers sing a version of the famous track.
