Edin Rose Pays Tribute to Sridevi with Karthika Deepam Recreation
Edin Rose, the multifaceted talent who has been making waves in the entertainment industry through her roles in films and reality television, has recently embarked on a significant musical journey. She has recorded a special song titled Karthika Deepam for her upcoming project Bharata Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi, which features the popular actor Ravi Teja in a leading role.
A Moment of Deep Gratitude and Responsibility
The actress, who was also a notable contestant on the reality show Bigg Boss 18 and is set to appear in an upcoming film, recently shared insights about this new musical endeavor. Edin revealed that Karthika Deepam is a recreated version of the legendary song Aaraneekuma Ee Deepam, originally performed by the iconic actress Sridevi. She described this opportunity as a moment of utmost respect and profound responsibility.
Edin opened up about the emotions she experienced while taking on a song so closely associated with Sridevi. "Honestly, my first emotion was deep gratitude. To even be considered for a song connected to Srideviji felt like a blessing. Of course, there was a sense of responsibility, but it came with respect and care. I knew this was not just another song, it carried history, emotion, and legacy," she expressed.
Preparing with Authenticity and Respect
While preparing for the song, Edin chose to revisit the original version with a clear and thoughtful intention. "I revisited the original not to imitate it, but to understand its soul. Srideviji brought such grace and emotion to the song—it's truly timeless," she said. She further added that the creative team behind the project encouraged her to stay authentic throughout the process.
"The makers encouraged me to stay true to myself and bring my own energy while respecting the essence of the original. That balance helped me perform with honesty rather than comparison," Edin noted, highlighting the collaborative effort to maintain the song's integrity.
A Tribute to an Iconic Legacy
Edin then elaborated on her perspective regarding the recreation, emphasizing its purpose as a tribute. "I see it primarily as a tribute. Some performances are so iconic that they can never be recreated, only honoured. If this version helps younger audiences discover Sridevi's magic, then I feel the purpose is fulfilled," she stated.
With Karthika Deepam, Edin Rose does not aim to compete with history but to carry forward its emotional legacy with sincerity and grace. This project marks a significant step in her career, blending her growing presence in films and television with a heartfelt homage to one of Indian cinema's most beloved figures.
