Y.V.S ABOUT OKKAMGADU MUSIC


I am a huge fan of K Raghavendra Rao since my days in Gudiwada as president of NTR fans association. I also started K Raghavendra Rao fans association and corresponded with him regularly. People go to theatres just to watch songs of K Raghavendra Rao’s films. I am hugely inspired by him. Listening to his songs enhanced my love for music. Lucky I joined K Raghavendra Rao as assistant director and it gave me lot of scope to song picturisation because I observed K Raghavendra Rao’s work from close quarters.
My song picturisation was always appreciated right from my first film Sri Seeta Ramula Kalyanam Chootamu Rarandi to Devadasu. I have created my own style in unusual song picturisation. I did four films with MM Keeravani, who is my all time favorite music director. Ramana Gogula composed extraordinary music for Yuvaraju. Chakri gave chartbuster music for Devadasu, which ran for 175 days in 17 centres.
When music has become such an important ingredient of film’s success, I take extreme precautions while signing a music director. Mani Sharma is an excellent music director with great specialisation in keyboard. He is also exceptionally good at re-recording and background score. He has delivered industry hits with almost all leading heroes of Telugu cinema. His music caters to classes and masses alike. Mani Sharma has given extraordinary music for Okka Magadu. He has already composed six songs out of seven songs for Okka Magadu. For a high profile film like Okka Magadu, it is very important to have music that gives an instant kick. The music of Okka Magadu is going to be huge chartbuster. You don’t have to listen 2-3 times to decide how songs are. One listening is enough to judge how good Okka Magadu songs are. After working with Mani Sharma, I realised that he has excellent grip on tunes, orchestra and rhythm. Okka Magadu music will surpass the music composed for all my six films.Hats off to Mani Sharma!
