The action then changes to the lawns of the embassy, where the Ambassador is joined by two other staffers as they groove to composer MM Keeravani’s award winning song.
Since being shared, the video has amassed over five lakh views and thousands of likes.
Many people appreciated the efforts of the staff members and called it an “amazing performance”.

Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “So lovely… Anybody would be tempted to try some steps !!”
“Awesome!” remarked Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Anurag Thakur.

The movie, RRR, has continued to dominate international film festivals and its most recent success was winning four Hollywood Critics Association Awards.
It also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Song last month, marking India’s first-ever victory at the ceremony.
