Reel Talk: Keeravani Says Bollywood Is Waste!
MM Keeravani is known for Telugus as renowned music director and he is also well known with the name MM Kreem for Bollywood people. But Keeravani doesn't like scoring music for Hindi films. And know the reason in his own words.
Keeravani says, "I have to tell you a secret about Bollywood. It sounds big but matters nothing. The budget of Bollywood film music is very less. We cannot call for a 20 violinists to score a profound background. I scored music for 'Jism' and that was a hit. I got many calls after that. But when the budget matter came, the producers turned highly calculated. That bothered me and hence I didn't take up any. Telugu film music is the richest one".
When asked about the stardom factor on today's music, Keeravani said, "Big maestros in classical music are depending on Gods and Goddesses and making albums on them. No body is there to listen to the music on nature and love in classical arena. Same is the cas with us. We are depending on Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna or any other star. Our business runs only on them and the music scored on them as they have fans and followers".
Finally he asked not to brand himself as the music director for devotional films taking Annamayya and Sree Ramadasu into consideration. He added, "Poor Vandemataram Sreenivas was branded as music director for revolutionary films. Don't put me in that trap".
