Washington DC [US], June 23 : Oscar-winning song 'Naatu Naatu' from Ram Charan and Jr NTR-starrer 'RRR' has been a global phenomenon. The craze for the hit track is not over as yet. On Thursday (local time), 'Naatu Naatu' was highlighted by PM Narendra Modi in a special address during the State dinner at the White House.
"With every passing day, Indians and Americans are getting to know each other better. We can pronounce each other's name correctly, we can understand each other's accent better... Children in India become Spider-Man on Halloween and America's youth is dancing to the tunes of 'Naatu Naatu'," PM Modi said.

"This evening is made special by the presence of the people of our two countries, they are our most precious assets.

I hope you were able to fit in everyone who wanted to come for the dinner tonight," PM Modi added.
The White House had invited more than 400 guests for the dinner at the specially decorated pavilion on the South Lawn of the White House.
