Rockstar DSP aka Devi Sri Prasad is no doubt, a national sensation. But did you know? His music from ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ (2021) has not only broken language barriers but also traversed geographical borders.
Videos of a Dutch singer crooning “Srivalli” and a Nigerian man grooving to the song have gone viral on the internet. Together, the videos have garnered over 16 million views and YouTube.
Here’s the video of Emma Heesters, an influencer on the platform, singing “Srivalli”:
This just goes to show the power and influence of DSP’s music. A name to be reckoned with in the music world, he is one of the few music sensations to shatter language barriers. ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ was the first time that an entire music album of a massive blockbuster topped music charts across Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada and Tamil.
The Hindi album also became quite the rage on YouTube, claiming a well-deserved spot on the top 5 of YouTube Global Music Charts with “Srivalli” at number 1, followed by “Sami Sami” at number 2 and “Oo Bolega Ya Oo Oo Bolega” at number 4. Other songs from the album also remained on the top of music charts.
