Filmmaker SS Rajamouli's film 'RRR' won in the Best 'Original Song - Motion Picture' category at this year's Golden Globe Awards for its popular song 'Natu Natu'. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday congratulated SS Rajamouli and the entire RRR team for this historic achievement.

Strong Reaction Of Adnan Sami
Adnan Sami tweeted, "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!"

Sami's tweet sparked a debate on social media. While some people supported him, others said that the victory of RRR is a matter of great pride for Andhra Pradesh.
