Some artists stand out not only for their talent but also for their journey and the stories behind their success. One such artist is composer Srikanth Deva. A luminary music director with his debut in the 2000 Tamil movie "Doubles," who gave evergreen hit songs in films like 'Sivakasi', 'Kuthu', 'M Kumaran Son Of Mahalakshmi' and many other films. Srikanth Deva has orchestrated a symphony of his own. With an impressive repertoire of evergreen chartbusters, Srikanth Deva's notes have danced in harmony with the likes of Vijay and Silambarasan TR, imprinting memories that endure. Noteworthy beyond his musical marvels, his collaboration with film director EV Ganesh Babu bore the fruit of excellence, clinching the distinguished Best Non-Feature Film (Special Mention) Award at the revered 69th National Film Awards for their creation 'Karuvarai' and Tamil Nadu State film award for best music director for the movie 'M Kumaran Son of Mahalakshmi.' Lets unravel the enigma of Srikanth Deva, who graciously discusses his experiences, his award-winning moments, and his memorable collaborations.
1. How did it feel to win the National Award?
Winning the National Award was truly an unexpected and overwhelming moment in my life. I hadn't received much attention before, and it was quite a surprise. I received a call at 4 p.m. while I was at a restaurant with my family. Initially, I found it hard to believe since I didn't recall composing music for a National Award-worthy film. However, after some verification, it turned out that my work on the short film 'Karuvarai earned me the award, and that news took me to cloud 9. My whole family after hearing about this news.
