Keeravani sir, has lost an incredible 22 kilos, and his determination is truly inspiring."

MM Keeravani is the cousin of filmmaker SS Rajamouli. He began his career as an assistant music director to Telugu composer K Chakravarthy in 1987. He got his first break as an independent music composer with the film Kalki in 1990, but the film was never released. It was director Mouli's 1990 film Manasu Mamatha that brought him into the limelight and is considered his first released film. However, Ram Gopal Varma's blockbuster Kshana Kshanam (1991) established Keeravani as a music director.

He gained global recognition for composing the music for SS Rajamouli's RRR, with the song Naatu Naatu making history by winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2023. He also won a Golden Globe in the same category, establishing himself as a prominent name on the international music scene. Some of his other notable works include Baahubali, Magadheera, Annamayya and Criminal. He has also composed the music for Rajamouli's upcoming film, Varanasi, which is scheduled to release in 2027.
