'Keeravaaniji doesn't work in isolation.' 'He responds to stories, situations, and the emotional core of a film. 'That's why his tunes are so different. 'Unchiseled emotional masterpieces.'
'Keeravaaniji Is A True Representation Of India'

On January 11, S S Rajamauli's RRR made history when its universal hit. Naatu Naatu won its Composer Koduri Maragathamani Keeravani the Golden Globe for Best Original Song, beating stiff competition from Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna. Mahesh Bhatt congratulated Keeravani with who "For me, his towering success was Zakhm's Galli Mein Aaj Chand Nikla.

For me, his towering success was Rog's Maine Dil Se Kaha. For me, his towering success was Jism's Awarapan Banjarapan, which birthed John Abraham."

'Keeravaaniji defines our core values of humility

MM Keeravaaniji is one of the simplest human beings I've met in the entertainment industry.

What defines him is this ornament of simplicity that he possesses.

It was evident when he was on stage at the Golden Globe Awards, dressed in an attire I have never seen him in.

Perhaps the occasion demanded it.

There was an ease, candor, and genuineness about him at that moment in the spotlight.

In this glory-grabbing era, when everybody wants to steal somebody else's thunder, it was life-affirming to see him share his moment in the sun with his brother and RRR Director S S Rajamouli, Prem Rakshith, the animator, Arranger Kaala Bhairava, Lyricist Chandrabose, Singers Kaala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj, Actors NTR Jr and Ram Charan, and his wife Srivalli.
