‘Kalaavathi’ songwriter defends Sid Sriram’s Telugu pronunciation

Chennai: In response to the backlash over Sid Sriram’s mispronunciation of lyrics while singing ‘Kalaavathi’, lyricist Anantha Sriram stated that Sid Sriram’s word pronunciation and rendition are flawless.

Speaking to mediapersons during his Sarkaru Vaari Paata promotions, lyricist Anantha Sriram stated that, because Sid Sriram is not a native Telugu speaker, he personally ensured that no errors were made.

Anantha Sriram went on to defend the star singer (Sid Sriram), claiming that the audience’s misinterpretation of the singer’s incorrect pronunciation was caused by technology and that the audience may have misunderstood some words due to echoes, delays, resounds, and revokes.
