This evocative anthem, deeply infused with the artistry of legendary composer MM Keeravaani, carries a stirring message: "The fire within us… our courage and heroism should never fade."
Given the current global climate, this song resonates as a powerful call to valor, ensuring that the spirit of inner strength never diminishes. It's as if the lyrics and music themselves are wielding a flaming sword, igniting a reminder of our inherent resilience. This inspirational anthem is slated for public release on May 21st.
Pawan Kalyan lauded Keeravaani's immense contribution, stating, "The music and background score by Keeravaani Garu elevate the emotional intensity of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' to extraordinary heights. I’ve personally witnessed the dedication and passion with which he composed for this film. Saying that he breathed life into Veera Mallu would be no exaggeration."
He recounted Keeravaani's commitment, recalling the maestro's words: "This is the first time I’m working with you, so it has to be something truly special." This sentiment, Pawan Kalyan noted, reflects Keeravaani's deep sense of artistic dedication.
Pawan Kalyan shared his joy from a recent meeting with the Oscar-winning maestro. He recounted how time flew by as Keeravaani shared stories of his illustrious journey – from his early days as a disciple of renowned music director Chakravarthy Garu, to his enriching associations with literary giants like Veturi Sundararama Murthy Garu and Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry Garu.
A fascinating moment came when Pawan Kalyan noticed Keeravaani's collection of violins, triggering memories of his own brief attempt at learning the instrument. Keeravaani even showcased a treasured violin gifted by Chidambaranathan Garu, which he has preserved with great care.
A passionate admirer of Telugu storytelling, Keeravaani has curated a personal collection of 32 cherished stories. Receiving this collection from him was a moment of immense joy for Pawan Kalyan. Among these are two stories penned by Keeravaani himself, revealing his versatile talent not just as a master composer but also as a gifted writer, capable of weaving beautiful Telugu lyrics with poetic finesse.
Pawan Kalyan emphasized Keeravaani's unique creative process, noting that he often "sets a path for lyricists with the words he writes." He highlighted the immense effort behind a film, stressing that "What we see on screen is a two-and-a-half-hour film, but behind it lies the tireless work of someone like Keeravaani Garu, who devotes days and months crafting its music with unrelenting passion."
Through his creative genius and soul-stirring melodies, Keeravaani's artistry has brought Telugu music to the global stage, culminating in an Oscar win – a feat that fills everyone with pride and a journey that continues to inspire.
