The SS Rajamouli directorial RRR created history this year by winning the Best Original Song award for the song Naatu Naatu at the 95th Academy Awards. Music composer MM Keeravani and lyricist Chandrabose went on stage to accept the award as the rest of the team applauded from the audience. While Keeravani presents his version of The Carpenter on Top of the World, an overwhelmed Chandrabose barely manages a namaste. Now fans are curious to know about the Telugu lyricist.
According to a report in The Hindu, the song Naatu Naatu was conceived during a car drive in Hyderabad, when the lyricist thought of the words Naatu Naatu while returning from a meeting with PM Keeravani.
The academy winner was born in Chalgariga village in Warangal district, which was then in Andhra Pradesh, where he also completed his schooling. He completed B.Tech from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU). Chandrabose entered the industry aspiring to become a playback singer but destiny had other plans, and he became a lyricist. She made her debut with the song Manchu Kondaloni Chandrama for the 1995 film Taj Mahal. In 2001, her song Ekdo Putti Ekdo Perigi for SS Rajamouli’s Student No. 1 brought her into limelight.
Chandrabose carved his niche among producers, directors and music directors as a lyricist and proved his mettle by experimenting with mood and lyrics. In nearly 25 years in the industry, Chandrabose has written around 3,600 songs in over 850 films. Mounamagne Edagamani, Panchadhara Bomma Bomma, Kanipenchina Ammake and the erotic Ooh Anthava and Srivalli are some of his notable works.
Meanwhile, SS Rajamouli told Variety that the Oscar win will accelerate work on the sequel, which is being written by his father, screenwriter Vijayendra Prasad. The Baahubali director initially did not plan to make a sequel to the film, but after its success in the West, he reconsidered his decision.
Rajamouli told Variety, “After the international success, when the subject came up again, my cousin (Keeravani) — who is also part of my core team — came up with an idea that made us think, ‘Oh my gosh, this is a great idea. It is an idea. It is an idea worth following.'”
The director asked his father to start work and immediately expand the idea.
