Their electrifying on-screen chemistry is generating waves, with fans and critics hailing them as the freshest couple in Telugu folk music.
Broadcasted on the popular 9 Tunes YouTube Channel, “Bava Rava” has become a viral sensation, receiving a deluge of praise from viewers and industry stalwarts. The song’s infectious vibe is a testament to the dynamic team behind it, including:

A pivotal force in the song’s energy and authenticity has been Syed Mazar, the celebrated film choreographer, whose personal rapport with the lead pair injected pulse and flavour into the dance sequences. His choreography, imbued with the spirit of Telangana folk, breathes life into the video, further cementing the song’s status as a trendsetter.
Pooja Nageswar, already famed for chartbusters such as “Oh Pillaga Venkatesu,” now soars to new heights thanks to her partnership with Chimuturi.
