In a special musical collaboration, Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani has lent his voice to a song for the upcoming Telugu film Sri Chidambaram. The track, titled Velle Darilona, marks a notable departure for Keeravani, who typically sings only for his own musical compositions. His rare decision to sing for another composer has generated significant excitement among fans and the film's team alike.
Details of the Special Song Velle Darilona
The music for Sri Chidambaram is composed by Chandu Ravi, with the lyrics for Velle Darilona penned by Chandrasekhar. The lyrical video for the song was released recently, receiving an enthusiastic response from audiences. During the release event, MM Keeravani extended his best wishes to the entire team, praising their efforts.
The film's makers expressed immense gratitude, stating that Keeravani's distinctive voice has elevated the song to an entirely new level. They described feeling both proud and thankful for his contribution, highlighting how his involvement adds a unique charm to the project.
About the Film Sri Chidambaram and Its Makers
Sri Chidambaram is presented by Smt Chinta Varalakshmi and features a story and direction by Vinay Rathnam. The lead roles are portrayed by Vamsi Tummala and Sandhya Vashishta.

Plot and Early Reception
