Tell us about your track Tu Naazneen on Oriyon Music.
Tu Naazneen is a simple song that speaks about longing in a direct and straightforward manner. It’s not trying to be complex or difficult. The song conveys the feeling of missing someone, especially in a long-distance relationship. It’s all in the words, which are simple and heartfelt.
You have sung a lot of Telugu songs. Which one is your favourite?
It’s difficult to choose a favourite Telugu song among all the songs I’ve sung. Each song has its own character and charm, and when I approach a new song, I try to forget what I’ve done in the past and give it a fresh and exciting interpretation. The South Indian film industry, especially Tollywood, has been consistently producing great music, and I’m glad that it’s gaining recognition.
What do you love the most about Tollywood and Hyderabad?
What I love about Tollywood and Hyderabad is the city’s great infrastructure and the professionalism in the film industry. There’s a clear hierarchy and everyone knows their role without unnecessary interference. Any creative input is aimed at improving the final product, and decisions are made collaboratively. I appreciate this approach, as it ultimately leads to better quality work.
