There is a talk in the Telugu Film Industry that one particular community is ruling the craft of writing aka lyricists and story writers. When lyricist Ramajogayya Sastry was asked about his community dominating the scene, he didn’t agree with the interviewer.
“Anyone who has the scholastic skills will be a success here. There might be many who are from my community. I can show many who don’t belong to my community, but have proved themselves as great lyricists,” explained Ramajogayya Sastry. He said that he doesn’t want to be identified with the community’s name.
It’s because of the respect towards his parents, he keeps his name which suggests his birth community. Nonetheless, he doesn’t like the discrimination that only one particular community individuals are ruling the industry as writers and lyricists.
Even small things go a long way in these sensitive times when anything can become a controversy and hence, the lyricist doesn’t want to talk about such sensitive things. Well said!
