There are 19 songs in Sri Ramadasu album. I do compose music for even porn flick with the same commitment I have for a devotional film. For that matter, I don’t mind even composing music for a porn flick. I don’t have to become a devotee because I score music for a devotional film. I treat every film in a professional way. I did not even go to temple while composing Sri Ramadasu songs. I feel that your should keep your professional life and personal life separate. I neither started writing Ramakoti nor stopped eating non-veg.

While everybody in the unit - right from the light boy to the director K Raghavandra Rao - made sure that they stayed away from worldly pleasures and luxuries while making the film, I did not follow any of it. I listened to the story after committing this project.ĭid you take any precautions while scoring music for Sri Ramadasu? I did not know anything about Sri Ramadasu except that he was put in jail and Lord Rama released him. It was K Raghavendra Rao who took the decision to make a film on Sri Ramadasu.ĭid you do any homework while composing Sri Ramadasu? I informed K Raghavendra Rao about the request of the priests. The priests over there asked me if a film could be made on Sri Ramadasu on the lines of Annamayya. I went to Bhadrachalam in the last year to visit the temple. We heard that it was you who was behind the happening of Sri Ramadasu film? Ananda Bhattacharya helped me a lot for composing Annamayya album.
