Chandrabose Opens Up About Gudumba Shankar Days: Writing About A Long-Lost Phase Of Telugu Movie-Making, Oscar-Winning Lyricist Chandrabose Appears To Recall It With A Tenderness, A Patience, A Creative Wholeness That Runs Through His Blood. When Talking In A State Of Obvious Nostalgia, Chandrabose Told The Story Of Filmmaking Being About The Meaningful Work, Not The Haste Or The Interrupted Communication. To Him, That Period Was When Music Was Created With A Feeling Of The Group Instead Of A Sense Of Time.
He Remembered That Film Songs Previously Were Produced As A Result Of Long Discussions And Mutual Understanding. Actors Were Not Just Participants Who Awaited Their Instructions; They Would Get Into The Heart Of A Song Emotionally Even Before Being On The Set. Chandrabose Says Artistes Were Habitually Engaged In Lyric And Music Discourses And Every Word Was Heavy With The Plot And The Interior Realm Of The Character. This Practical Association, He Believes, Gave Songs Their Sincerity, Which Listeners Could Immediately Relate To.
To Showcase This Dying Culture, Chandrabose Went Back To One Of The Most Memorable Moments Of Gudumba Shankar. The Director Cleopatra Received A Personal Call Of Pawan Kalyan To Talk About The Song Le Le Lele, When The Movie Was Being Produced. Rather Than Sending The Inputs By The Help Of The Assistants Or The Music Team, The Actor Explained Directly The Emotional Background Of The Situation And Compelled The Lyricist To Write With The Heart Of The Character. Chandrabose Said That Was The Difference.
This Was A Memorable Experience To Him. He Feels That This Kind Of Open Communication Allowed Writers To Be Emotionally Candid And Imaginatively Honest. Words Acquire A Depth, And Music Has A Soul When The Writer Perfectly Understands The Rhythm Of A Scene.
Compared To The Modern Production Culture That Is Fast Paced, Chandrabose Senses That Some Intimacy Has Somehow Gone Down The Drain. His Thoughts Are A Heartrending Recollection Of A Golden Creative Period, The Period When The Concept Of Collaboration Was Not A Check Box, But The Spirit Of Truly Memorable Cinema.
