Music composer Mani Sharma in a recent interview revealed how he was forced to copy a song for his 2002 film Aadi starring Jr NTR. Check it out!
Mani Sharma, one of the most sought-after music composers in Telugu cinema and Tamil cinema in the 2000s was recently asked in an interview if he has ever copied music from another song in his filmography.
Responding to this tricky question, the composer revealed that back in 2002, for the film Aadi starring Jr NTR and Keerthi Chawla, he had to copy music for the song Chiki Chiki, sung by Tippu.
Mani Sharma reveals he was forced to copy songs in films
For the uninitiated, Aadi is the 2002 film starring Jr NTR in the lead role. V V Vinayak made his directorial debut with this film and it was a massive hit back in the day. It was later remade in Tamil and Bengali as Jai and Surya, respectively.
The music for the action-drama flick was composed by Mani Sharma and it had the aforementioned song that is quite similar to Turkish singer-songwriter Tarkan’s song Şımarık also known as Kiss Kiss. The latter was a huge hit in many European countries, becoming a chartbuster, written by Sezen Aksu and Tarkan.
Moreover, in the same interview, Mani Sharma said, “The only thing which hurts me is the big stars are not ready to work with me anymore. I'm not expecting the heroes to give all the chances to me but they can consider giving equal opportunities to myself, Devi Sri Prasad, Thaman, and others. I'm fine even if I get one film while DSP and Thaman get two films each.”
Mani Sharma’s work front
Mani Sharma was most active at the start of the 2000s when one after another Telugu and Tamil films roped him to compose music. He was often dubbed as the Melody Brahma and even contemporary music composers like S Thaman, Devi Sri Prasad, and Harris Jayaraj worked under him.
The composer last worked in 2023 composing the tracks for the Kartikeya Gummakonda starrer film Bedurulanka 2012 and also in Kannada for Dhruva Sarja’s Martin. The composer is also working on two Telugu movies this year which include Ram Pothineni-Puri Jagannadh’s sequel film Double iSmart and Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa.
