Chiranjeevi honours Rajamouli, Keeravani for Oscar win at Ram Charan's birthday bash

Telugu superstar Ram Charan's birthday bash turned out to be another occasion where the success of RRR at the Oscar stage was celebrated. Charan's father actor Chiranjeevi took to Instagram on Tuesday to post a couple of pictures in which SS Rajamouli and MM Keeravani were felicitated for the historic win of 'RRR' on the Oscar stage.

Chiranjeevi wrote in the caption, "Honouring our Oscar winners in the presence of near and dear on @alwaysramcharan's birthday was a true celebration! This feat Telugus achieved for the Indian cinema shall remain etched in history!"


In the first frame, SS Rajamouli and his wife were felicitated with a shawl and a bouquet of flowers. Chiranjeevi, his wife, and Ram Charan were also present in the frame. In the second frame, MM Keeravani and his wife were honoured.

Helmed by SS Rajamouli, RRR is a fictional story based on the lives of two Telugu freedom fighters, Alluri Seetharaman Raju and Komaram Bheem. Ram Charan and Jr NTR played lead roles, respectively. The film collected over £120 million worldwide. Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn played essential characters in the movie.

RRR's power-packed song “Naatu Naatu” won the Oscar for 'Original Song' beating heavyweight contenders like Rihanna and Lady Gaga.

Before entering the Oscars, the song bagged awards on the global stage. In January, “Naatu Naatu” won the Golden Globes in the 'Best Original Song' category. Five days later, RRR bagged two more awards at the 28th edition of the Critics Choice Awards. One is for the best song and another is for the 'best foreign language film'.

NHS to immunise premature babies against deadly winter virus RSV

Highlights

  • NHS to offer nirsevimab injection to 9,000 premature and high-risk babies from late September
  • Aims to protect against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which can cause severe illness in infants
  • Premature babies are 10 times more likely to need intensive care for RSV
  • Nirsevimab offers immediate protection and lasts for six months
  • Neo-natal units across the UK will deliver the jab

Thousands of premature and high-risk babies in the UK will soon be offered a new immunisation to protect against RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), a common winter virus that can cause serious lung infections and hospitalisation. The NHS will begin delivering the nirsevimab injection from late September, aiming to shield vulnerable infants before the colder months set in.

Premature infants at higher risk from RSV

RSV typically causes coughs and colds, but in some children — particularly those born prematurely or with underlying health conditions — it can lead to bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and breathing difficulties. NHS England says premature babies are three times more likely to be hospitalised due to RSV and ten times more likely to require intensive care compared to full-term infants.
