I think there is no perfect time than now to recognize the unsung heroes of Telugu cinema, our lyricists. In an era where there is very little Telugu about our Telugu cinema, these are the torchbearers of our Telugu language. I have excluded the legendary lyricists Veturi Sundara Rammurthy garu and Sirivennela Sitarama Sastry garu as they have already gained their respect in cinema.
One thing I can say is that, it is unheard of anywhere in the world that a top director was inspired by a lyricist to make a movie like in the case of Surajyamavaleni Swarajyamendukani(Gaayam), Ardha Sathapdapu agnaanaani swathantram andhaama(Sindhooram) etc. Also top heroes from other states were inspired to learn our language to understand the writings of a lyricist like in the case of Kamal Haasan(Aakali Rajyam), Siddharth(Nuvvosthanante nenoddantaana) etc. Such is the history of our legendary lyricists and the ones I have mentioned above are the true signs of bright future of Telugu in Telugu cinema.
