He has been churning out hits for Tamil and Telugu films for several years now, and Bollywood, too, couldn’t stay untouched by his music. Dhinka Chika and Aa Aante Amalapuram were originals by him, and later recreated in Hindi. Devi Sri Prasad aka DSP, as he’s fondly called by the industry people, recently recreated Seeti Maar for Salman Khan’s Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai.

While there are more Bollywood projects lined up, he tells us, “What was happening is that I didn’t get any gap with all my work in Tamil and Telugu films. After Dhinka Chika, I did come here with my team. This time, I’m keeping aside more time. After Seeti Maar, I’ve got more Hindi films. I can’t reveal though, but because of Covid, I don’t know when the announcements will be made.”

In fact, some of the films have already been shot, DSP reveals, and is quick to mention that the pandemic has played a spoilsport.

“Because of Covid, everything has gone haywire. But talking about positive things, this lockdown has given me time to think and plan a few things I should do next. Out of that, Bollywood is one thing I always wanted to do. So, I’m segregating time accordingly, keeping both the South and Hindi films in focus,” assures the music composer, who started his career in 1999.
