Two decades ago, at the age of 20, Devi Sri Prasad made his debut as the music director with Kodi Ramakrishna’s devotional-fantasy film ‘Devi’. After rousing to fame with the coming-of-age ‘Anandam’ (2001), there has been no looking back for the talented composer in Telugu and Tamil cinema. With superhit albums like Kalusukovalani, Varsham, Arya, Arya 2, Iddarammayilatho, Nannaku Prematho and many more, the 40-year-old singer-cum-lyricist turned into the most sought after music directors down South.
Devi Sri Prasad started off his Filmfare journey with the 2003 blockbuster Varsham and continued it with successful albums like Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, Bommarillu, Gabbar Singh, Attarintiki Daredi, Srimanthudu and Nannaku Prematho. During the recently concluded 66th Yamaha Fascino Filmfare Awards South, Devi Sri Prasad won his ninth Black Lady in the Best Music Director category for ‘Rangasthalam’. He also topped the list as the musician with the highest number of Filmfares in Telugu cinema.
Posing with all the 9 awards, he took to his Twittle handle and posted “ThankU all 4 always Loving & Supporting Me & My Music n Makin me Win Hearts & Awards ThankU @filmfare 4 these lovely 9 black ladies.. ThankU Team #Rangasthalam 4 my 9th Lov to Suku Darling @aryasukku This enormous LOVE makes me wana Work More n More”
At present, Devi is hands-full in Tollywood with Sarileru Neekevvaru, Uppena, Good Luck Sakhi, Rang De and Allu Arjun’s project with Sukumar.
