Indian T20 League franchise, Lucknow recently congratulated the team behind the movie RRR for their success at the Oscars 2023. The movie won the Best Original Song award for the song Naatu Naatu. However, the tweet posted by the franchise, which featured four pictures, including one of their captain KL Rahul, left fans baffled.

While KL Rahul has no direct connection to the movie, it appears that the franchise tried to make a witty correlation between RRR and 'Rahul'. This did not sit well with many fans, who expressed their annoyance on social media, asking why Rahul was included in the tweet.

The post from Lucknow was meant to be a tribute to the success of the movie and to congratulate the team behind it. However, it was the inclusion of KL Rahul's picture that left fans puzzled. Some suggested that it was an attempt to grab attention or generate publicity, while others criticized the franchise for using such a strategy.

In the case of Lucknow, it appears that their attempt at being clever did not resonate well with fans. It is important for sports franchises to understand their fan base and their expectations, especially when it comes to sensitive topics such as movies and celebrities.

In a time when Rahul's form and the continued chance that he's been awarded has been in question, Lucknow should have thought of shielding the player from online trolls. They instead have put him on the forefront in the posts that do not even need him. Currently, Rahul is sitting out for ongoing India vs Australia 4th Test match.

Here's how Twitter reacted: 

Keep your 2 Rs comedy in your personal account. You get Rahul trolled unnecessarily. DELETE IT.

As for the movie, it's getting worldwide fame now that it has won an Oscar for Best original song, Naatu Naatu. Speaking after winning the award, RRR director Rajamouli said, "When I'm going to a movie, I would like to see larger-than-life characters, larger-than-life situations, larger-than-life drama."

"And that's what I like to make," he said to a reporter in his Hyderabad office. "Nothing holds the heroes back in delivering their action sequences, " concluded the legendary filmmaker.
