Shashtipurthi Teaser: Strong Emotions With Soulful BGM

The Telugu audience are usually very welcoming of well crafted films that come with a strong storyline. The same appears to be the case with upcoming Telugu film Shashtipurthi. The teaser for the film was released by other than Ilaiyaraaja himself, who had composed the music for the film.

Legendary composer Ilaiyaraaja continues to prove why he remains an irreplaceable force in Indian cinema. His latest work is featured in the Telugu film Shashtipurthi, whose teaser was unveiled in a special event held in Hyderabad. In a rare and heartwarming gesture, the Maestro himself launched the teaser meaning an uncommon public appearance of the legend that instantly elevated the occasion.

The teaser introduces a gripping blend of heartfelt emotion and thoughtful social themes, offering a glimpse into the world of Shashtipurthi. Leading the cast are emerging talents Rupeysh and Akanksha Singh, alongside seasoned stalwarts Rajendra Prasad and Archana, all delivering promising glimpses of compelling performances.

However, it’s the background score that truly lingers. Composed by Ilaiyaraaja, the music seeps into every frame with a haunting beauty and emotional richness. It’s a masterclass in scoring—elegant, profound, and unmistakably his. The Maestro appears to be in a creative purple patch, crafting sounds that elevate the visuals with seamless ease.

During the event, Ilaiyaraaja captivated the audience with his words as much as his music. “I don’t know where this music comes from,” he confessed. “The day I find out, maybe that’s the day I’ll stop composing.” It was a moment of humility from a genius whose work continues to touch hearts across generations.

Veteran actor Rajendra Prasad also took to the stage to share his admiration. He called it a privilege to work once again with Ilaiyaraaja and praised the film’s young team for their fresh and fearless storytelling approach.

Directed by Pavan Prabha and produced by Rupesh Kumar Chowdary under the MAA AAI Productions banner, Shashtipurthi promises to be a moving cinematic experience. The release date is expected to be announced soon.
