Never thought I'd write lyrics for a film, but here we are: Ram Pothineni
Ram Pothineni "This is the first time I've officially written lyrics. I usually write English songs for myself or friends, but I've never shared them publicly. Writing in Telugu was a first and a truly memorable experience. " For all the years Ram Pothineni has spent in the spotlight, one thing stayed out of view: his habit of writing songs. 'I've been scribbling lyrics for years, mostly in English, and just for myself or close friends. It was never meant to go beyond that,' shares the actor. Ram Pothineni with Bhagyashri Borse in a still from Nuvvunte Chaley That changed during a music meeting for his upcoming film, when a few lines he casually jotted down were met with unexpected enthusiasm. 'We were discussing the soundtrack, and I wrote down some lines as a reference for the lyricist we were meeting the next day. When I read them out, they said, 'This is it. Why call someone else? It felt strange at first, but also exciting.' Those scribbles turned into Nuvvunte Chaley, a romantic Telugu track from Andhra King Taluka, marking Ram's unplanned debut as a lyricist. It also led to a collaboration with Anirudh Ravichander , whose voice, Ram says, captured the song's mood perfectly. 'Anirudh was everyone's first choice. Even when we thought we had the perfect take, he'd push for one more. That kind of commitment shows in the final track,' he says. Now that he's a credited lyricist, Ram is open to exploring it further. 'If the right story and music come along again, I'd definitely love to write more,' he says. Ram Pothineni
