Vineeth Sreenivasan recalls his first encounter with MM Keeravani

MM Keeravani is the man of the moment in Indian cinema after his coveted Golden Globe win. The veteran composer won the award for Best Original Song for the track Naatu Naatu from SS Rajamouli's RRR, thus becoming the first Asian as well as the first Indian song to win the prestigious award. Ever since the announcement was made, words of praise have been pouring in for Keeravani. 

Malayalam actor, singer and filmmaker Vineeth Sreenivasan took to social media to recall his first encounter with the veteran composer. He wrote,

A few years back, in the apartment right opposite to mine,lived a husband and a wife. They were really nice people,very humble and grounded. Husband was a Thalassery-kkaran and the wife was from Andhra. Whenever we met, we had some good conversations. Then one day when I was driving back to my apartment after a day’s work, I saw this chechi walking in with a middle aged man. After parking the car I went to them,we exchanged smiles and she introduced him saying ’Vineeth, this is my brother’. Graciously he turned towards me and said his name. I literally had shivers when I heard the name. And that man whom I met in the parking lot on a regular day won the golden globe yesterday for his immensely celebrated song from 2022.

M M Keeravani!!!
