The song Naatu Naatu from the hit Indian film RRR has won a best original song Oscar nomination.

It's the first Indian feature film to be nominated for anything other than best international film at the Academy Awards.

The song has already won a Golden Globe and a Critics' Choice Award.

It will be up against heavyweights Lady Gaga and Rihanna, whose songs are nominated in the same Oscars category.

This year's ceremony will be held in Los Angeles on 12th March.

The last time an Indian won an Oscar for a film's music came in 2009, when composer AR Rahman won best original song and best original score for the song Jai Ho from the film Slumdog Millionaire, directed by Danny Boyle.
