Godari Gattu has already crossed 27 million views. How does this response feel?
Very grateful. I have many fans who love my song. They were waiting for me to sing again. I am busy with my personal life. I am in US. I haven’t sung in anyone’s music yet. But Anil and Beams are very loving persons. Have a fantastic attitude. Venkatesh is a very good friend of mine. My first film was Venkatesh’s Premante Ehira. I wanted to sing this song coming in such a good combination. Beams composed beautifully. It was a pleasure to get such a wonderful response to the song. It felt like life had come full circle.
How did this song come to you?
I am in use. Beams called and asked him to sing a song in this movie. I asked him to send the song. I listened to the song a couple of times. Liked it a lot. The song has a heart. Definitely felt like singing. So I sang this song. I got a lot of creative freedom to sing this song.
What was Venkatesh’s response?
Venkatesh called. They said that I am very happy to sing again. He liked the song very much. There is no change in him since then. That’s the magic. He is a rock star.
When are you going to compose again?
I am ready. But everything should be possible. All the music directors of today are doing amazing music. The songs are fantastic. But there is a small gap somewhere in a new kind of music. I am ready to fill that gap. I have some innovative ideas. Actor, story, director should be perfect at the right time. Audience can definitely expect music from me.
What changes have been made in music technology since then?
A lot has changed. Now due to artificial intelligence there is no need for a singer to actually sing the song. The song comes automatically. But heart is the most important element of a song. It is only possible with human touch.
You had a blockbuster combination with Pawan Kalyan.. How was working with him?
Pawan Kalyan is a creative person. Try something new. In the first time Telugu movies, the English song was composed only for his movie. After listening to him, he confidently said that he is doing this song. It happened in a magic. It’s great that he’s at such a great level now.
What’s your favorite song you’ve ever sung?
I don’t compose if I don’t like it. I like everything. One thing to say, I like the song ‘Manasemo Deyen Mate Vinadu’ in the movie Yuvaraju. That’s a great composition.
