The song ‘Satyabhame’ released in 1980 and composed by Upendra Kumar for the film ‘Ravichandra’ was one of the super hits of that time. This song is sung by Rajkumar. The song, which was familiar only to Kannada movie lovers, is filling young hearts after 42 years, through a twenty-four-year-old named Sanjit Hegde. All India is now singing about Satyabhama. Sanjith’s songs have charted in several hit charts in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi languages. Sanjith also acted in the Telugu anthology ‘Pitta Kathalu’ in X Life with Shruti Haasan. Sanjith has sung in many films like Brahmastra, Vikrant Rona and Imaika Nodikal. Sanjit Hegde shares the details of the viral Satyabhama with Manorama.
Viral ‘Satyabhame’
When I thought of doing any of the short pieces of music, I chose Satyabhame as my favorite song. The original Satyabhame is a huge hit in Karnataka. A beautifully done song. It was not easy to sing but I always sang in my own way. I love all the songs of Rajkumar sir. So Satyabhame Remix was done in 15 minutes. It went viral very quickly. It is a great joy that now ‘Satyabhame’ is universal and the song is being enjoyed all over India.
I like Malayalam
Malayalam music space has inspired me a lot. Every song is a symbol of a culture. Similarly, I like the works of Vidyasagar sir, Johnson sir, Jakes Bijoy and Sushin Shyam. I grew up listening to the songs of Avial Band, Job Kurian and Rex Chetan. Most of the album that is currently being worked on is Malayalis. Engineer Sujith Sridhar, Shanku Chetan, guitarist Sunil Chetan and keyboard player Joe Johnson are my lucky ones. Some people also ask if Malayalam will be remixed. Will definitely do. But more than that, I want to sing songs and be a part of the Malayalam music industry.
Will the full version of the remix come out?
A lot of people have asked for the full version of ‘Satyabhame’ remix in the comment boxes. I want to do it. But for the last four years I have been trying to finish the album I wrote. The current goal is to bring them to the people in my composition.
