Pawan Kalyan felicitates Keeravani ahead of film Hari Hara Veera Mallu's release
Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party (JSP) chief K. Pawan Kalyan said that music director M.M. Keeravani has breathed life into the song 'Salasala marige niloni raktame' (The blood boiling within you…) for the upcoming movie Hari Hara Veera Mallu,with his music and lyrics. The JSP leader, who plays the protagonist in the movie, met Mr. Keeravani, who composed the music for the film, at his residence and felicitated him, on Monday night.
The courage and valour within us must never fade away. This is the stirring emotion that reverberates through the powerful song, which appears in the film Hari Hara Veera Mallu, said Mr. Pawan Kalyan in a press release on Tuesday. In today's circumstances, it feels like a clarion call, as if spoken with fierce conviction, urging that our courage and valour should not weaken. The song is set to be released to the public on May 21, the JSP chief said.
The music and background score composed by Mr. Keeravani for this film elevate the emotional highs of the story to their peak. 'I have personally witnessed how devotedly he worked to create these melodies. Saying that he breathed soul into Hari Hara Veera Mallu is no exaggeration,' he said.
'This is the first time I'm working with you. So people will be eagerly waiting. It has to live up to that,' said Mr. Keeravani. During the conversation, Mr. Keeraavani fondly spoke of his musical lineage — from being a student under music director K. Chakravarthy, to his close bonds with legendary lyricists like Veturi Sundararama Murthy and Sirivennela Sitarama Sastry.
Meanwhile, the violins in Keeravani's room sparked a memory within the music director. He recalled how he once began learning the violin, got as far as playing simple scales, and then let it go. Keeravani showed me a violin gifted by renowned music composer Chidambaranathan, which he has preserved with great care, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said.
