Rockstar Devi Sri Prasad Set to Ignite the Screen with ‘Yellamma’
For years, fans of the South Indian film industry have wondered when the energetic “Rockstar” Devi Sri Prasad (DSP) would finally make his debut as a leading man. Known for his electrifying stage presence and chart-busting music, DSP has always teased the possibility of acting. That dream is now becoming a reality with the project titled Yellamma, backed by the powerhouse producer Dil Raju.
In a recent candid conversation, DSP shared the “behind-the-scenes” story of how this transition happened. According to the composer, it wasn’t a sudden decision but a result of a very persuasive and professional approach by Dil Raju.
“#DilRaju approached me for Yellamma and said, ‘Give me 10 days a month. I won’t disturb you more than that. The rest of the time, continue your music. We’ll plan the schedules in such a way, it doesn’t disturb your movies,’” DSP revealed.
This statement highlights the immense respect the industry has for DSP’s primary craft—music. Dil Raju, known for his keen eye for talent and commercial success, recognized that DSP’s musical commitments are vast, ranging from mega-budget films like Pushpa 2 to various independent projects. By offering a “10-days-a-month” schedule, the producer ensured that the “Rockstar” could explore his acting prowess without compromising his identity as a music director.
The project Yellamma has already generated significant buzz. While details regarding the plot remain under wraps, the title suggests a story rooted in local culture or a strong emotional narrative. For DSP, who is used to communicating through melodies and rhythms, the challenge will be to communicate through expressions and dialogue.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see if his infectious energy on stage translates into a compelling screen presence. Industry insiders suggest that this move could open a new chapter in DSP’s career, potentially making him one of the few artists who can successfully juggle both musical composition and lead acting roles simultaneously.
As the production progresses, all eyes are on the schedules. If this “10-day” model works, it might set a new trend for multi-talented artists in Indian cinema to pursue diverse creative paths without feeling overwhelmed. For now, the audience is ready to chant “DSP! DSP!” not just in theaters during the background score, but for the man himself on the big screen.
