Some movies may not become big hits at the box office, but their songs can live in peoples hearts for many years. One such movie is Pournami, starring Prabhas, Trisha and Charmy. The film, produced by M.S. Raju, came after the success of Varsham and had huge expectations. However, it did not perform as expected at the box office.

But the songs from Pournami became very popular. Even today, many people remember and enjoy them. Among all the songs, Bharatha Vedamuga has a special place. The song is loved by classical dance performers and music fans.

Interestingly, the popularity of this song has now crossed Indian borders. A Chinese girl recently performed the song in Shanghai. Seeing a Chinese performer present a traditional Indian dance itself is special. But the story behind the song makes it even more interesting.

A video of the performance was shared by a netizen on X. Popular lyricist Ramajogayya Sastry reacted to the video and shared a surprising detail about the song.

According to him, music director Devi Sri Prasad, popularly known as DSP, composed this song when he was only eight years old. The tune was created many years before it was finally used in Pournami. This shows how talented DSP was from a very young age.

For many fans, this fact is difficult to believe. Composing such a beautiful classical-based tune at just eight years of age is a rare achievement. DSP developed an interest in music from childhood and also received training under legendary mandolin player Mandolin Srinivas in Chennai.

DSP entered the Telugu film industry as a music director at a very young age and quickly proved his talent. Over the years, he has given many memorable songs and successful albums in Telugu cinema.

Today, DSP is 47 years old and is nearing three decades in the film music industry. His journey shows how early talent, training and passion can grow into a successful career.

The story of Bharatha Vedamuga makes the song even more special. What many people hear as an emotional and beautiful song today actually has roots in the childhood creativity of a young DSP.
