    Thank you for the interviews FC South👍 I am recommending a 100% hike for Ram Venkat Srikar in this financial year for his outstanding work😊 His excellent home work, asking relevant & interesting questions makes him stand apart amongst his peers especially in Telugu Film Journalism. Honestly, after the great late TNR, he is simply the best.

    When I create, I am the audience. I share my creation with everybody else. Art is rich and free, what sells is labour.

    A R RAHMAN never endorsed chayya chayya is a sukhvindars tune. Rahman said sukhvindar brought Bullah Bulleh Shah's poetry and they used that poetry and Rahman made the tune.Even sukhvindar agrees with it.
    Chayya chayya is A R RAHMAN'S tune.
    Coming back to Yuvraaj, Rahman gives basic tunes to friends and asks them to develop the tunes. But he has full control over the output.
    So Rahman composed Chayya chayya and Rahman composed Jai Ho.
    Sukhvindar received a cheque for singing that song! Not for composing!

      Sukhvinder Singh is said to have composed “Thaiya Thiaya”, an alternate pure Punjabi version of “Chaiya Chaiya” which incorpated Punjabi folk elements and shayari(poetry) and this version I personally liked even better! Thaiya Thiaya is also in the Dil Se soundtrack but just wasn’t shown in the movie.
