RGV’s satire on current music directors

Ram Gopal Varma believes that A R Rehman, Keeravani, Manisharma and Devi Sri Prasad had together buried the music in South India. Responding to Rana’s comment about Ilayaraja’s 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 didn’t do but he gave a break to him with Kshanakshanam .

RGV also introduced Manisharma as music director in a Chiranjeevi’s film but the film dropped off mid-way. And with RGV’s 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 RGV’s comments.(telugucinema)
