You're the heartbeat of Sita Ramam, Dulquer Salmaan heaps praise on the film's music director

Dulquer Salmaan, who is overjoyed with the positive response to his latest film, Sita Ramam, has referred to music director Vishal Chandrashekar as the film's "heartbeat." The music composer took to Instagram just before the film's release to share an emotional message.

The post read, "Dear Ram, Sita and Afreen, it was a pleasure to work with you in Sitaramam. This film is my biggest opening to date in my journey as a music director. I enjoyed watching you guys perform on screen. Wish you a grand success. I am sure this film is going to open up a lot of exciting doors in the coming days for me."

Vishal Chandrashekar added he has been longing to work on a project this big. "This film is going to remain my favourite forever. Thank you for inspiring me to work uncompromisingly. Looking forward to working with you again."

Responding to Vishal Chandrasekhar's post, Dulquer replied: "VC! You broke my heart! The Background music, especially the climax BGM, caused my insides to hurt. You are the heartbeat of Sita Ramam."

Sita Ramam, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is a love story set against the backdrop of the 1965 war. Dulquer Salmaan plays Lieutenant Ram, an orphan who serves the country in the snow-clad mesmerising terrains and gleaming lakes of Kashmir. Mrunal Thakur as Sita Mahalakshmi, the film's lead lady, co-stars with Dulquer, as does Rashmika Mandanna in an impressive performance.

Speaking about the USP of Sita Ramam, Dulquer in an interview, said, "It's a unique story. I don't think people anymore write stories like this. I loved its core idea. It's something I've never done before."

Further, Dulquer Salmaan added he felt there was no need to emphasise Sita Ramam was a pan-Indian film. "We get tired of hearing something overused. I no longer see an article or an interview that does not include this pan-India term. It's not a novel idea or concept, in my opinion. Stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, and Shah Rukh Khan's films have long transcended national boundaries."

Produced by Aswini Dutt under the Swapna Cinema banner, the film is presented by Vyjayanthi Movies.
