Could Kavitha not have found someone from Telangana to sing, compose and direct this song? Couldn’t she find someone who could meaningfully portray the culture of Telangana? These people have successfully sank the might of the State. This is Rahman and Menon’s assault on our culture. Now it’s the turn of Tamilians and Malayalees to make fun of us.

Senior journalist and blogger Manchala Srinivasa Rao posted a link to his blog which stated: “So far, Telangana has been seeing Andhra Pradesh dominance and mockery of TS self-respect and culture. To this, Kavitha replied, “The festival of colours, melody and togetherness Bathukamma is here! Here’s sharing a glimpse of the special song for Bathukamma by and a dream team for all my sisters.” Meanwhile, the song drew criticism from a few netizens. Bringing you a glimpse of the beauty of Bathukamma through #AllipoolaVennela along with Telangana Jagruthi.” “My work has always been experimental and I hope that the people like Allipoola Vennela,” Menon said. Meanwhile, Rehman tweeted about the song: “A festival of life. It took us two days to complete it,” said Menon.Īllipoola Vennela was shot in the heartland of Telangana as the makers wanted to keep every shot authentic. He played all the previous songs and said we will get to work immediately.” Since a lot of people and decor were used in the making of the video, a lot of planning went into it. When we asked him to join us for this project, he did not hesitate. Talking about the collaboration with the music maestro, the filmmaker said: “He has done stuff like this in Tamil,wherein he promoted the language and I directed the song.

The biggest name is Rahman sir and that is all we wanted,” Menon said. We did not want any prominent names to be featured in it. “Prominent people are from a certain region and we wanted to keep the video-song natural. Hence, the makers did not rope in prominent faces to act in it. The idea behind Allipoola Vennela was to keep it real and simple. Then, Rahman sir came on broad and that’s how the song took shape,” Menon said hours before releasing the song with former MP K Kavitha in Hyderabad on Tuesday. I met Kavitha ma’am and she, too, asked me if we could plan something on it together. Bathukamma is such a colourful festival and I wanted to film it. “I like the idea of the festival it is about women and beautiful flower arrangements.
