Actor Priyadarshi’s latest Telugu release Balagam, where Kasarla Shyam got his first single card as a lyricist (all four songs), has been a gratifying experience for the writer.
Referring to the lyrics written by Acharya Athreya, Shyam said that life has to be celebrated. “I lost my parents and this is a tribute to them and my village.”
As for “Ooru Palletooru” song, Kasarla Shyam wanted to write something about a palle (village) from a perspective that people hadn’t been familiarised with.
Venu recapitulated all the memories from his village and the result is Balagam. I hope I did justice to his journey and the film,” Kasarla Shyam signed off.
