He said, "I think when we won the Oscar, I mean all that pain, all that sweat, all that torture which our director put us through just vanished in a second. I think Naatu Naatu will be remembered as a very special song not because we won the Oscars or not because we went through a lot of pain, but I will remember Naatu Naatu for having shared the screen with an amazing friend of mine, and a fabulous dancer." On the work front, Jr NTR was last seen in Devara: Part 1 with Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor. He is currently filming for his next massive project, NTRNeel, with director Prashanth Neel.

Conan O'Brien Is Set to Return As Host For the Oscars in 2026
In an exciting announcement, comedian and late-night television legend Conan O'Brien is set to return as the host of the Academy Awards in 2026. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences confirmed on Monday that O'Brien will once again emcee Hollywood's biggest night, marking his second time as host for the prestigious event. O'Brien, who previously hosted the 2025 Oscars, left a lasting impression on audiences. His performance during the 95th Academy Awards telecast was widely praised, bringing in a whopping 19.7 million U.S. viewers—making it the highest-rated Oscars telecast in five years, according to broadcaster ABC. His sharp wit, comedic timing, and ability to keep the audience engaged earned him widespread acclaim, with many calling it one of the best Oscar hosting performances in recent memory. In a statement from the Academy, O'Brien joked, "The only reason I'm hosting the Oscars next year is that I want to hear Adrien Brody finish his speech," referencing the lengthy acceptance speech (a whopping 5 minutes and 36 seconds) given by Brody when he won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in The Brutalist. His humor was a key part of his hosting style at the 2025 Oscars, blending sharp, self-deprecating jokes with moments of heart and genuine enthusiasm for the films and stars being celebrated. It's no surprise the Academy invited him back for another turn at the helm. "I'm excited to have his talents back onstage next year to helm another indelible performance," said Craig Erwich, President of Disney Television Group. Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan, who served as executive producers for the 2025 Oscars, will also return for a third consecutive year in the same roles. Their expertise, along with O'Brien's unmatched charisma, promises to make the 98th Academy Awards, set for March 15, 2026, another memorable night in the annals of Hollywood history. Fans are undoubtedly eager for his return in 2026, as the Academy looks to continue the success of its recent Oscar ceremonies.

To be a part of it is meaningful to me,' he told the New York Times.
