"[Many dancers] have struggled with getting cast for big opportunities, because they don’t have the ‘right’ training. They don’t have the ‘right" experience," said Meghna Chakraborty told The Los Angeles Times. "They’re not represented by agencies in the traditional way. They’re not a part of unions yet. The styles that we’ve trained in are not considered as legitimate as the Western dance styles. It’s just super disheartening."
CBS News likewise quoted several members of the South Asian community who expressed disappointment in the performance.
"It's just so unfortunate that this piece has now marred what really would have been a flawless execution of an evening with regards to diversity and equity," cultural strategist Heena Patel said. "If you don't find people right away, it is on you to try harder, if it is a priority. [The choreographers] chose the easy route."
IndieWire writer Proma Khosla reached out to the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences to confirm if there were any South African performers during the number.
"A representative for AMPAS, when asked about the background of the performance’s dancers, told IndieWire it ‘was incorrect’ that there were few, if any South Asian artists in the performance, though they did not immediately provide further information when asked for clarification," Khosla wrote.

According to reports from the Academy Awards, the performance originally intended to feature the film’s two lead actors in the dance number. However, Oscars producer Raj Kapoor stated that they "did not feel comfortable" with the ceremony’s rehearsal schedule.
"In late February, we were informed that Ram Charan and N.T. Rama Rao Jr. would be attending the Oscars, but they did not feel comfortable performing the live number on stage. The change was brought on because of their other professional commitments and the limited amount of time to rehearse. The original number was workshopped and rehearsed for two months and was shot over a period of 15 days. The ‘Naatu Naatu’ performance for the Oscars was rehearsed in Los Angeles with professional dancers for a total of 18 hours of rehearsal and one 90-minute camera blocking," Kapoor said.
Despite this, Kapoor commented that the film’s producers, choreographers, leads and singers were all approached and consulted in the decision-making process for the performance. Kapoor also noted that it was important for them to promote a more diverse dance team to celebrate the song’s international fan base.
