Pooja Prasad's 'Pooja Swaralu' Album Launch

Pooja Prasad, the grand daughter of veteran producer cum director V B Rajendra Prasad, has come up with a devotional audio album titled ‘Pooja Swaralu’. The audio was launched in Film Nagar temple on June 28th, 2011. Central Minister Purandeeswari was the chief guest of this programme. She lit the lamp and inaugurated the launching event. Later the audio CDs were released. Other prominent guests included Jagapathi Babu, Murali Mohan, V B Rajendra Prasad, Smt Vasundara, Bunty, Jaya Kumar, Subhash Gupta, etc.

Murali Mohan said, “There are many musical hit films from Jagapathi Films banner. Particularly this family has a combination of a producer, director and an actor. Pooja got this musical talent from her grandmother. This is her 4th album. Purandeeswari has command over many languages. Hence she attracts the crowd with her speeches in the respective languages. We are very happy to see her here. Pooja is the top singer when it comes to devotional songs. I was happy to note her passion for journalism. I wish her a great future.”

Purandeeswari said, “Our family has a special bond with their family for quite some time running into years. Not just Vasundara, even her children have exhibited their talents making it a family trait. One could notice the immense happiness and brightness on the faces of their family members when Pooja sang the song. When the children in these days become coach potatoes due to influence of TV and computers, it’s really remarkable to see Pooja pursuing her passion in music. It’s indeed a surprise how she mastered Telugu inspite of not knowing the lyrics. I was told that she used to write everything in English and pronounce them perfectly in Telugu. Now a days the parents insist on good marks in schools. Whereas in case of Pooja it’s heartening to see her parents keeping aside their desires and giving value to Pooja’s interest. Infact even in my personal life it was my father who noticed my interest and talent in dancing and motivated me to pursue that. Music is God’s gift. The previous 3 audio albums of Pooja also were launched in the same temple. We must encourage Pooja who has opted for an art that reflects our culture and tradition. I also wish Pooja learns Telugu faster. I’m really happy to come for one such event.”

“Pooja is our family’s pride. I whole heartedly want to thank Bunty and Jayakumar in encouraging her. Though Aditya Music does not even remotely related to us, the interest they have taken in Pooja’s talent is really commendable. Pooja’s parents have encouraged her to donate the proceedings of this 4th album to poor which no doubt will make my parents also very proud. Infact my brother Ram Prasad is the main reason my becoming an actor,” Jagapathi Babu said.

V B Rajendra Prasad while speaking, “It’s a great honor for Purandeeswari to come and bless Pooja. I also thank all other near and dear who have come to this function. All used to address Purandeeswari as Chinnamma, but she has now actually turned out to be a Peddamma for our country. I’m sure a day will when she will get a chance to rule all of us. Pooja has got a very good grasping power. She will capture the nuances of the song in just one listen. Her parents also played anchor role by taking keen interest in her development including setting up a recording studio in the house. I hope she will become Gaana Kokila. One more thing, Murali Mohan has taken keen interest in the education of the children of this temple priests apart from doing many other social services. Bunty and Vijay Kumar played vital role in Pooja’s development. Her album is being released in the market through Aditya Music Company. Pooja Prasad will donate the proceedings of this album to poor and handicapped.”
