Grand Unveiling of Devotional Hit 'Shivoham' on Maha Shivaratri
Marking the sacred Maha Shivaratri, the vibrant launch of “Shivoham”—a heartfelt tribute to Lord Shiva—unfolded Monday at Hyderabad Film Chamber.
Presented by Radhakeshav, produced by Pottapu Keshava Reddy, directed by Damu Reddy, with Yashokrishna's soulful composition. Rendered by Madhu Balakrishnan, it streams on Keertana TV in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.
Dignitaries included His Holiness Sri Sri Sri Madabhinavoddanda Vidyashankara Bharati Mahaswamiji (Peethadhipathi, Sri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Pushpagiri Mahasansthanam), actor Tanikella Bharani, lyricist Suddala Ashok Teja, and actor Gautam Raju.
Music Director Yashokrishna:
“Thrilled for Shivoham's Maha Shivaratri drop. Grateful to director and producer for this divine chance.”
Director Damu Reddy:
“Proudly sharing Shivoham across South languages plus Hindi. Big thanks to Keshava Reddy garu and Tanikella Bharani garu. It'll deepen devotees' festive spirit.”
Producer Pottapu Keshava Reddy:
“Honored to unveil before His Holiness Sri Vidyashankara Bharati Mahaswamiji, with Tanikella Bharani garu and Suddala Ashok Teja garu. Crafted with pure bhakti and a powerful message.”
Actor Tanikella Bharani:
“Authored Atagadhara Shiva 25 years back; Shiva events call me often in Telugu states. Acting in Shivoham feels like divine grace—I poured full devotion. Shot at Isha Foundation after my chat with Isha Shailaja for nod. Damu Reddy shaped it masterfully, Yashokrishna scored brilliantly, Suddala Ashok Teja penned simply yet profoundly, and Madhu Balakrishnan elevated it nationally. Hoping it touches every devotee.”
Lyricist Suddala Ashok Teja:
“Tanikella Bharani launched my lyricist journey—his push got me here. Joy to celebrate Shivoham with him and Sri Shankarabharati Swamiji. Brahma, Vishnu differ, but Shiva's vibe is unmatched. Kailasa preaches equality—snake and mouse in peace. No other realm matches. As Ardhanarishvara, Shiva models marital harmony. Post-lyrics, Yashokrishna tuned it perfectly—enjoy this bhajan!”
His Holiness Sri Vidyashankara Bharati Mahaswamiji:
“Tanikella Bharani garu invited me; our Peetham's Monday Shiva rites aligned perfectly. Advaita equality rules Kailasa—all worship Shiva. Maha Shivaratri release blesses us all.”
Maunashree Mallik anchored the festivities.
