Sid Sriram, who has
become one of the
country's most
talked-about singers after the success
of his 'Srivalli' track for Pushpa, was praised by the film's
lead actor Allu Arjun as he remembered an event where the
crooner belted out the now-famous song without any musical accompaniment.
The absence of music had been caused by a technical glitch, but that did not stop the California-raised, Chennai-based Sriram from continuing with
the performance. This happened before the release
of Pushpa. Recalling the event, Allu Arjun took to
Twitter to say: "Wanted to write this at leisure. My
brother Sid Sriram Garu was singing 'Srivalli' on
stage at the pre-release event."
He went on to note:
"He started singing without
music and I was waiting for the musical instruments
to start slowly supporting his vocals. But they didn't.
And he kept singing without any music." Sharing a
video of the event, Allu Arjun concluded: "I was
blown away. It was sounding so magical I thought
in my head ... 'He doesn't need music. HE IS MUSIC."
Overwhelmed by the heartfelt praise, Sriram said:
"Brother, I am beyond humbled. So much love! You are
a legend and these words mean the world to me." IANS
