Billionaire Anand Mahindra put on his dancing shoes as he learned a few steps of “Naatu Naatu” – the Oscar nominated song from “RRR” from none other than the movie’s star Ram Charan.

The businessman met the actor at the Hyderabad ePrix and decided to learn some steps of the foot-tapping number performed by Ram Charan and NTR Jr in the SS Rajamouli magnum opus.

“Well apart from the race, one real bonus at the #HyderabadEPrix was getting lessons from @AlwaysRamCharan on the basic #NaatuNaatu steps. Thank you and good luck at the Oscars, my friend!” Mahindra, 67, tweeted with a video of the two dancing.

Ram Charan was barefoot as he showed Mahindra the steps who followed it diligently. Then, the two hugged and continued to talk to other dignitaries at the event.

The actor also reacted to the now viral video and tweeted that Mahindra picked up the steps faster than he did.

“@anandmahindra Ji you got the move faster than I did.. Was a super fun interaction. Thank you for your wishes for @RRRMovie team,” Ram Charan wrote in comments.
