Now a days, music 'Plagiarism' is every where(among music directors), because its easy to get a tune from somewhere tweak it & twist it you have a different tune or song(well not different really if you pay attention closely). And even more dastardly act is that claiming the work to be theirs whereas in reality its a complete copy of others work. But Devi Sri Prasad proved that he at least shows decency to give the credits to original composers, writers & singers. We all know how viral, the recently released Kaatama Raayudo' song from 'Atharintiki Dharedi' song, has gone ever since it is released few days back. He tweeted, "Guys.."Kaatamarayudo" is an old popular Folk song..Its not my tune..So all ur compliments shud go to the original composer n lyricist.!!:)". He also explained that "It is Trivikrm sir's idea to use it in a Comedy scene in d film which was suposd to be a surprise..So we made Pawan sir sing it for Fans.!". He is also confident that the song & the comedy scene, in which the song will be played, will definitely be liked by every one. "U wl lov d scene n Comedy of "Kaatamrayudo" in AD.! D lyrics n song r in d old film "Sumangali"..I don't know if it orignated b4 that also". He continued to say that he will "try to find out n tell d names of original composer n lyricist of "Ktmarayudo"so dat their souls can receive all ur compliments..!! :))". He stick to his word & found out the original "Kaatama Raayuda Old Song-Lyrics: Samudrala Raghavacharya, Music: Chittor V. Nagaiah, Singers: Malathi and A. S. Rao"-Thx:)".

Join us to appreciate Devi Sri Prasad for acknowledging the efforts of original aritists and we wish it will be followed by every other music director in the industry.
