Devi Sri Prasad: Dil Raju asked me to spare 10 days a month

Devi Sri Prasad, one of the most sought-after music directors in Indian cinema, is all set to take on a new challenge. Despite his packed schedule as a composer for several big-ticket films, DSP is making his acting debut with “Yellamma.”

Directed by Venu Yeldandi of Balagam fame, the film is being produced by Dil Raju and Shirish under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner.

Speaking about balancing his music commitments and acting career, Devi Sri Prasad revealed that the makers have worked out a practical schedule.

“I’ve already worked on a few songs and even composed the background score for a flashback sequence. We are moving forward with a solid plan regarding both the music and acting. Dil Raju garu asked me to allocate ten days every month, and I really liked that approach,” he said.

When asked about the story, DSP remained tight-lipped but confirmed that “Yellamma” is rooted in Telangana.

“I can’t reveal much about the story right now, other than the fact that it is set against a rural backdrop,” he added.

With a filmmaker like Venu Yeldandi at the helm and Devi Sri Prasad stepping in as a lead actor, “Yellamma” has already generated considerable curiosity among movie lovers.
