Tollywood Smita: Unveiling the Journey of an Indian Pop Sensation and Philanthropist - On September 4th, the Indian entertainment industry celebrates the birthday of a versatile artist, Smita. Known for her remarkable contributions to Tollywood, Telugu Music Industry, Bollywood, Kollywood, and Kannada cinema, Smita's career is a tapestry woven with talents spanning across acting, singing, and even philanthropy.
The Emergence of a Star
Smita's journey began in 1997 when her vocal prowess was discovered on the talent show "Padutha Theeyaga," broadcasted on the Telugu television channel ETV and hosted by the legendary S. P. Balasubrahmanyam. It was during this time that she embarked on her quest for playback singing opportunities. While she did secure a few playback singing roles, her parents recognized her potential as a pop artist. Thus, "Hai Rabba" emerged as her debut album in 2000, marking the genesis of her pop music career.
The Pop Sensation
With "Hai Rabba," Smita burst onto the pop music scene with a style uniquely her own. The album's success paved the way for several blockbuster albums in Telugu and Tamil, including the sensational "Masaka Masaka." Notably, some of her Telugu club mix albums crossed the milestone of one million copies in sales.
Simultaneously, Smita's mellifluous voice graced over seventy-five playback songs in Telugu, collaborating with renowned music composers from the southern film industry. Her rendition of "Evaraina chusuntara" in the movie "Anukokunda oka roju," composed by M.M. Keeravani, earned her the prestigious Filmfare Award for Best Playback Singer in Telugu in 2005.
Smita's contribution to pop music extended beyond albums and playback singing. She established a thriving market for pop music in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, preserving the genre's popularity for nearly a decade.
The Resounding "SMITA"
In a recent milestone, Smita released her album "SMITA," featuring nine tracks. The music, composed by the acclaimed duo Sajid Wajid, and the captivating video, directed and choreographed by Bosco-Caesar, have garnered widespread acclaim. The album, available in Hindi and Tamil through Sony BMG, offers a diverse soundscape. From the energetic dance number "Mahi Ve" to the hip-hop-inspired "Aaja Nachle" and the seductive "Ouch," the album showcases Smita's versatility and mastery across various musical genres.
In Tamil Nadu, her pop album "Mahi Ve," known as "Maayavi," has achieved immense popularity, captivating the hearts of music enthusiasts.
Beyond Entertainment: Philanthropic Ventures
Smita's artistic talents extend to the realm of philanthropy. She founded ICandy Entertainments Pvt Ltd, a production house responsible for producing the popular show 'Tata Indicom-Dance With Me' for Maa TV. Additionally, she released her album "Ishana – the path of the divine" on February 29th, a heartfelt offering to Sadhguru and the Isha Foundation. Proceeds from the album's sales support the foundation's noble initiatives in education, environment, and rural development.
Accompanied by two evocative videos shot at the Isha Yoga Center, the album features six audio tracks with music composed by Nihal. The videos were brought to life by acclaimed cinematographer Sameer Reddy and top photographer Tarun Khiwal. The album launch witnessed the presence of notable film personalities such as M.M. Keeravani and Brahmanandam, while the video launch was graced by cinema figures S.S. Rajamouli, Krish, and Siddharth.
