SS Rajamouli Buys First Ticket of Sing Geetham, Appreciates Nag Ashwin, Shares His Admiration For Singeetham Srinivasa Rao

Long before Sing Geetham reached the big screen, its story had already left a lasting impression on SS Rajamouli. During a special interaction with producer Nag Ashwin and music director Devi Sri Prasad, the star director opened up about his long-standing fascination with the imagination of legendary director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao and the unusual journey of the upcoming musical fantasy.

Rajamouli revealed that he first came across the film’s central idea somewhere around 1995 and 96 through his brother MM Keeravani. The concept stayed with him ever since.

“I still remember hearing the story for the first time. It was astonishingly original and completely out of the box. A film with such an eccentric and daring idea needed someone equally whacky to bring it to life. Nag Ashwin was the perfect person for that,” Rajamouli remarked.

For Nag Ashwin, the project began as an expression of gratitude towards one of Indian cinema’s most inventive storytellers. However, what started as a tribute soon transformed into a film he genuinely wanted audiences to experience.

He explained that Sing Geetham gradually pulls viewers into its universe. “Once the story settles in, the musical format becomes secondary. Audiences stop thinking about why characters are singing and simply follow the emotional journey,” he said.

Devi Sri Prasad described the film as one of the most unconventional assignments of his career. Unlike regular productions, the music took shape before cameras started rolling.

“We created an entire musical world in advance. I composed hundreds of tunes during the process. It was challenging, exciting, and unlike anything I had done before,” DSP shared.

Adding a memorable touch to the occasion, Rajamouli purchased the first ticket of Sing Geetham. The gesture reflected not only his faith in the project but also his immense respect for Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, whose creativity continues to influence filmmakers across generations.

Sing Geetham arrives in theatres on June 12 with the promise of delivering an experience rarely seen in mainstream Indian cinema.
