Rahman thanks all for support during his illustrous journey

AR Rahman looked smart and simple clad in a black kurta at the audio release function of 'Somberi' that was held in the city on Sunday.

Many wondered how Ali, who stars as the lead man in the film managed to get Rahman to fly down all the way from Chennai.

But Rahman was more than happy doing the favour for Mano, who has turned a music director with this film.


Rahman thanked all the Telugu music directors he has been associated with since his struggling days. It was Raj Koti, who identified his potential as a keyboard players and took him into their troupe, once Rahman came out of the Ilayaraja tutelage, he informed.

The function was more of a gathering of music directors, as Mani Sarma, Koti and Devisri Prasad were present to congratulate both Mano and lyricist Jonnavittula who is turning a director with 'Somberi'.

Rahman also disclosed that Mano was among the first few to record a song at his recording studio in Chennai, which he had opened only recently.

Rahman to attend Ali’s audio do

'Somberi' is the film that Ali is doing these days. The audio of the film is being launched on March 16 here. But this would be no ordinary do, as the makers of the film have a scintillating line up of hot-shot music directors coming for the audio release function.

If all of them manage to make it, then Ali can soon boast of having the most happening audio release function in a long time. For, there is AR Rahman who is said to have given his consent to attend the function.

Then there is Mani Sarma, MM Keeravani, Devisri Prasad and Koti, who are all said to have said ‘yes’ to grace the occasion.

Now, in case you wondered how the producer Yarramilli Venkateswara Rao could manage it, then here’s the inside dope.

It is because of the lyricist Jonnavittula Ramalingeswara Rao, who is turning a director with this film.
