Rapper Roll Rida and director-turned-actor Tharun Bhascker have come together to sing a Telangana-style Telugu rap song titled ‘Mem cinema theesinam’ (‘We made a film’). The song celebrates the spirit of indie filmmaking and is a promotional video for the new independent Telugu film Manishi Brathuku Inthe, directed by Varun Reddy and produced by Keep Rolling Pictures. According to a statement from the team, the film is likely to release soon on an OTT platform. The song opens with a disclaimer in Hyderabadi Telugu, stating that the makers of this song are not to be held responsible if any aspiring filmmaker takes inspiration from this rap song and risks everything to make movies. The song is written and composed by Vedam Vamsy and Varun Reddy, with additional lyrics by Tharun Bhascker and Roll Rida.
