RGV's satire on current music directors
Jul 29, 2010 - 3:00:50 PM
Ram Gopal Varma believes that A R Rehman, Keeravani, Manisharma and Devi Sri Prasad had together buried the music in South India. Responding to Ranas comment about Ilayarajas soulful music in Chinarayudu, RGV commented that the above music directors killed the music in our films. Interestingly, RGV was to introduce Keeravani as music director with his maiden film, Shiva but didnt do but he gave a break to him with Kshanakshanam.
RGV also introduced Manisharma as music director in a Chiranjeevis film but the film dropped off mid-way. And with RGVs Rangeela that Rehman introduced to Hindi audiences. Yet, Varma believes that these music directors had buried the music and brought importance to sound unlike Ilayaraja. It remains to be seen how these top music directors would react to RGVs comments.
