Thaman Responds to Chiranjeevi’s Praise with a Heartfelt Tweet

Renowned music director S.S. Thaman has expressed his deep sentiments regarding the state of Telugu cinema, a topic that has resonated with fans and industry stalwarts alike. During the success meet of the film "Sankranthiki Vastunnam" held on Friday, Thaman’s heartfelt remarks about the challenges faced by Telugu cinema sparked widespread reflection. He lamented how the industry often undervalues its creations while global audiences celebrate them.

Responding to Thaman’s poignant remarks, megastar Chiranjeevi praised the composer’s sincerity, stating that his words were deeply touching and conveyed an important message. In turn, Thaman shared his gratitude for Chiranjeevi’s encouragement through a post on X (formerly Twitter).

In his post, Thaman wrote, "Dear Annayya, your words reminded me of the Bhagavad Gita verse, Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana. Despite our best efforts, as humans, emotions sometimes spill over. The anguish I felt was like that of a parent watching their newborn being harmed before they could even open their eyes. Your understanding and words of support will stay with me forever."
