Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Clears Ilaiyaraaja Hurdle

The makers of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu have breathed a sigh of relief as Ilaiyaraaja has given his nod to the use of his iconic song "Sundari" from Dalapathi in the film. The song, featuring Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, has been a major highlight of the movie, and its inclusion was done with the legendary music composer's explicit approval.

Director Anil Ravipudi revealed at the film's success meet that he and his team personally met Ilaiyaraaja and sought his permission to use the song. The music maestro was reportedly happy with the idea and gave his blessings, ensuring that the film wouldn't face any legal issues. This development has put to rest speculation about potential copyright concerns surrounding the song's use.

Ilaiyaraaja has been quite vocal about protecting his musical rights, and his stance has led to several filmmakers facing legal action for unauthorized use of his compositions. However, Anil Ravipudi's team ensured that they followed the right protocol, and Ilaiyaraaja's approval has added to the film's positive buzz.

The clarification has been welcomed by fans, who were initially concerned about potential legal troubles for the film. With this hurdle cleared, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu can focus on enjoying its successful run at the box office, with Ilaiyaraaja's iconic song continuing to be a major draw for audiences.
