'Elephant Whisperers' Oscar may force govt not to amend wild life Act: Jairam Ramesh
After 'The Elephant Whisperers' got Oscar at Academy Awards, former environment minister Jairam Ramesh hoped that it may force the government to rethink about amending wild life Act. "It is wonderful that The Elephant Whisperers has won an Oscar. Maybe this will force the Modi govt not to press ahead with the widely opposed elephant-unfriendly amendments to the Wild Life Protection Act, 1972. In 2010, the elephant had been declared the national heritage animal." he said.

Singer Dhanunjay Seepana on Naatu Naatu big win
I feel proud as a Telugu playback singer now. I work with Keeravani garu for Namo Venkatesa. I have sung several Telugu songs, which were penned by Chandrabose garu. It’s all about the teamwork of Rajamouli garu, who directed RRR, Chandrabose garu, who has written the lyrics, Rahul Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava, who lent their voice to Naatu Naatu, Keeravani garu, whose composition won the hearts and Prem Rakshith garu who brilliantly choreographed the song. And their dedication and hard work have paid off. As a playback singer, I have an increased responsibility for what they have achieved

Oscars 2023: Pooja Bhatt on M. M. Keeravani
"About time the world woke up to the genius that is MM Kreem. We always maintained that he was the most underrated music director in India - especially in Hindi cinema. This win will make a whole new generation go back and rediscover the wealth and gems he has given us in the past. 'Zakhm', 'Sur', 'Jism', 'Rog' and 'Dhokha'... Kreem sir gave us melodies to sustain and last a lifetime and not merely chartbusters that tend to disappear from public consciousness in a couple of months. I am thrilled for him and grateful that life gave me the opportunity to do five films with him as a producer!"

Oscars 2023: Guneet Monga on her journey
In my happiest times- whether it was at the Oscars or when we produced Gangs of Wasseypur & The Lunchbox.. Or when I launched my production house… all I wanted was my parents beside me. But I know they’re at peace where they are. Someday I’ll see them again & get my ‘well dones.’ But for now, I’m going through life, collecting happy moments for them. I hope they can be proud that I’ve finally stopped borrowing dreams. I’m my own person now & maybe that in itself is a dream come true!"

Oscars 2023: Ace singer-composer Prajna Dutta explains how 'RRR' song ‘Naatu Naatu' beat others to win the Oscar
Ace singer-composer Prajna Dutta explained, "Honestly I am an ardent admirer of Keeravani garu’s work since I saw 'Magadheera'. His music has a wonderful aftertaste to be savoured through seasons and shifts in one’s emotions. Naatu Naatu is one of the most interesting works that employs simple yet tasteful polyrhythms, cross rhythms, string stabs and unleashes a grandeur of rustic pride amidst the highly sophisticated syncopations and textures employed within the sonic sphere of this magnum opus of a track. It is indeed a proud moment for all of us and this win surely calls for celebration."
