100% Love, has carved a distinct identity for himself in the Telugu film industry. Over the years, he has contributed lyrics to several top-tier films and star-hero projects. Rising swiftly to become one of the most sought-after lyricists, Sreemani celebrates his birthday on September 15 (Monday). On this occasion, he shared insights about his career with the media. The following are the highlights of his conversation:\r\nWhen asked if there was anything special about this birthday, Sreemani said, &ldquo;There is nothing particularly special. However, I always aspire to climb another step in my literary journey and achieve something new. I wish to begin new works on my birthday itself, with the feeling that this is the day my life begins anew.&rdquo;\r\nReflecting on his recent work, he stated, &ldquo;This year, I had the opportunity to write songs for scenes that were rich in literary depth. Songs like Bujjithalli and Hailessa in Tandel, Nijama Kala in Lucky Bhaskar, and tracks from Aay earned me good recognition. All these songs convey deep emotions tied to the narrative. I feel proud to have had the opportunity to write such songs. I am grateful to the music directors, directors, and producers who believed in me and gave me these opportunities.&rdquo;\r\nRegarding how he updates himself in alignment with literary changes, Sreemani remarked, &ldquo;Every song presents its own challenge. Over the past five years, sound design in both music and lyrics has evolved. Sound aesthetics need to be captivating for the audience. That&rsquo;s why I strive to stay aligned with trends and not compromise on standards. I aim for my lyrics to feel fresh even ten years down the line. As part of that effort, I constantly reinvent myself.&rdquo;\r\nResponding to a question about frequently writing love songs and how he keeps them innovative, he said, &ldquo;Love is universal. Each song and emotion carries its own novelty and expression. I ensure the song communicates the emotion clearly to everyone through subtle words, without losing meaning in sound.&rdquo;\r\nWhen asked to name a favorite among his songs, he responded, &ldquo;I write every song with affection. Every song I write is my favorite. A writer should always feel satisfied and driven to write more, always yearning to create new literature.&rdquo;\r\nSpeaking about the current social media trend where songs are expected to become instant hits, Sreemani observed, &ldquo;This is like walking a tightrope for all writers. Earlier, songs took time to reach audiences. Now, due to social media, people expect to like a song the moment they hear it. Accordingly, songs are becoming instant chartbusters. Still, we write with the thought that the song should evoke the same feeling even ten years later.&rdquo;\r\nCommenting on the type of songs he writes most and whether he listens to the entire story before writing, Sreemani said, &ldquo;After the Aradugula Bullet song, I&rsquo;ve been getting more opportunities to write hero introduction songs. Occasionally, I also get to write love songs. For example, for the song Idhe Kada... from Maharshi, I listened to the entire story before writing it. Some songs, I write based solely on the situation.&rdquo;\r\nOn being asked about the song he feels most proud of, he shared, &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t decide which of my songs makes me feel proud. The real satisfaction comes when someone I admire or respect praises a song I&rsquo;ve written. Director Sukumar, who introduced me as a lyricist, highly appreciated the song Vachindamma from Geetha Govindam and encouraged me, saying I was writing well. Similarly, when the legendary Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry appreciated my song in Maharshi, it was a moment I&rsquo;ll never forget. Such moments make me feel I have written something truly meaningful.&rdquo;\r\nWhen asked whether he has ever considered directing films, Sreemani replied, &ldquo;I have no intention of moving towards direction. But I have a strong desire to evolve as a complete writer. I used to participate in story discussions with friends before, and now I want to put that into practice by writing dialogues. Writing is my life. It is my wish to enhance the value of literature.&rdquo;\r\nSreemani is currently writing lyrics for several upcoming films, including Aakasaniki Oka Thaara starring Dulquer Salmaan, Sambaraala Yetigattu featuring Sai Durga Tej, and India House, among others.

The horror thriller film Kishkindhapuri, starring Bellamkonda Sreenivas, has defied expectations with a strong first weekend performance. Despite facing stiff competition from Teja Sajja's Mirai, Kishkindhapuri has managed to find its audience and showcase impressive collections. The film's trend on the weekend is very good, with day 3 collections surpassing day 2, which in turn was higher than the opening day. This positive trend suggests that the film is benefiting from good word-of-mouth among audiences.

Kishkindhapuri has collected over â‚¹11.5 crore gross in its first weekend, with a decent hold on weekdays being crucial for its box office success. If the film maintains its momentum and sees a good run, it has the potential to emerge as a huge blockbuster. The film's collections have been increasing each day, with Sunday's collections reaching the three crore mark for the first time. According to early reports, the film collected â‚¹3.35 crore on Sunday, and this number is likely to increase further.

Despite a mixed response on the first day, Kishkindhapuri has recovered well, with collections increasing by â‚¹70 lakh on the second day and reaching â‚¹3.35 crore on the third day. The film's horror thriller genre has worked in its favor, attracting audiences looking for a thrilling cinematic experience. With a strong first weekend, Kishkindhapuri is poised for a successful run.

Kishkindhapuri is directed by Kaushik Pegallapati and produced by Sahu Garapati under the banner of Shine Screen. The film features Bellamkonda Sreenivas and Anupama Parameswaran in key roles, with music provided by Chetan Bharadwaj. With its positive trend and increasing collections, Kishkindhapuri is expected to perform well at the box office.

Teja Sajja's film Mirai has shattered box office records with an impressive opening weekend collection of over â‚¹60 crore in just three days. The pan-Indian action fantasy film, directed by Karthik Gattamneni, has been released in four languages: Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Mirai's early estimates for the weekend are around â‚¹75 crore gross worldwide, comfortably crossing HanuMan's opening weekend collections of 70 crores.

Mirai's success marks a significant milestone for Teja Sajja, who is breaking his own records at the box office and establishing himself as a leading hero among tier 2 stars. The film's storyline revolves around Teja Sajja's character, a warrior tasked with protecting nine sacred scriptures that can turn any mortal into a deity. With its engaging narrative and impressive visuals, Mirai is poised for a successful run.

While Mirai's opening weekend collections are impressive, it's unlikely to surpass HanuMan's overall collections due to the latter's festival advantage during its release. HanuMan collected around â‚¹70 crore gross worldwide in its opening weekend and benefited from the Sankranti festival, which boosted its box office performance.

Teja Sajja will reprise his role as Hanumanthu in the sequel Jai Hanuman, directed by Prashanth Varma. The film is slated to release on October 2 and promises to deliver another thrilling cinematic experience. With Mirai's success, Teja Sajja's fan base is eagerly anticipating his future projects, and it's clear that he's on a roll.

Teja Sajja's super yodha film Mirai directed by Karthik Ghattamaneni is going great guns at the box office.

While movie lovers are spellbound by the quality VFX and CGI and also the riveting story and BGM, they got disappointed as the makers have done away with the Vibe Undi song shot on Teja Sajja and female lead Ritika Nayak.

Apart from it, the makers who shot a special song involving hot beauty Nidhhii Agerwal on the train along with Teja Sajja also decided not to include it.

Now, speculation is on whether the train song which many felt was shot on the lines of Chaiyya Chaiyya in Dil Se would be included in the coming days along with Vibe Undi.

But the director speaking to scribes shared that the song was shot not for Mirai but for the sequel of the film. This is exciting all as the film ended with a sequel with the post credit scenes featuring Hot Hunk Rana in a surprising role. It is known that the makers also thanked Nidhhii Agerwal for the special song.&nbsp;
