Musician Govind Vasantha, who, a day ago, expressed his brave stance on Facebook in two sentences - “Chinmayi Sripada WILL sing in my films till SHE says NO to me. No one will decide on behalf of me” watched the whole turn of events hopefully. “It’s an irony that it’s the same Radha Ravi who, when accused by Chinmayi of sexual misconduct, stayed in the job while she lost her work. Now, when he talked against Nayanthara, action is taken. This had to happen. Better late than never!”
It was in Chinmayi who brought to life Govind’s compositions Kaadhale, Vasanthakaalangal and Thaabangale and the voice of Trisha Krishnan in the super hit movie 96.Calling the singer a fighter, Govind stresses that he stands with his statement, “Chinmayi fought it bravely, went to court and got an interim stay on her removal from the dubbing union (headed by Radha Ravi). Yet, there’s an unofficial ban on her. When a talented state-award-winning singer with over 15 years experience in the industry says that she hasn’t recorded a song since October 2018, it’s not right. Nobody has directly asked me to not work with her, but when I suggest hers as an apt voice, I have been told to try new voices. When you connect the dots, you understand, right?”
Govind confirms that he will be working with Chinmayi in the Telugu remake of 96 too, “Even after this project, if her voice suits my song and the character, I will go ahead with it. I just need the director to agree with me.”
