Music director M.M. Srilekha, who has composed the theme song for the Kerala Blasters football team owned by Sachin Tendulkar, says, “The team’s management asked me to compose a song for the team. I sent two tunes for their approval.”
“They had asked about 20 to 25 music directors for the song and there were some noted personalities among them. But finally they selected my tune,” she says. In the Malayalam song, Srilekha has mixed a bit of Tamil culture and Malayalam folk.
The male part of the song has been sung by Kalabhavan Mani. “He was busy with films in Chen-nai, but on my request, he sang for us,” says Srilekha, who sang the female part. On Monday, Sachin unveiled the jersey of the team along with the theme song. Srilekha attended the event and also met Sachin.
“He is a very humble and a down-to-earth person,” she says. In her speech she said that while Sachin had scored century after century in cricket, she herself is nearing a century in films as a music director.
“He wished that I would complete my 100 films as music director very soon,” says Srilekha, who has completed 75 films as music director in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. Srilekha started off as a music director and singer at a very young age. She is the sister of music director M.M. Keeravani and is director S.S. Rajamouli’s cousin.
