All the songs in this album have been meticulously selected by me after listening to many numbers. The first two songs, RUK and MANZOOR, are sung by Raja Hasan Sagarin his mellifluous voice. Lathaji who heard the songs was very impressed by Raja’s singing.” says Prerna Arora.
Smt. Latha Rajinikanth Ji, through this platform, is leading her mission to create value and contribute to society through music, art and culture. The upcoming season is an epitome of her vision.
Latha ji says, “Having grown up in an artistic family with parents, sister, brother, and later my extended family. My husband… All being wonderful singers,instrumentalists, dancers, and actors. It was only natural for me to be creatively inclined. I was a singer from my kindergarten days and composed music and wrote lyrics for my songs and albums. But from the beginning, I always felt that in ourcreative world there must be an underlying cause. It can be a message or social awareness on children and the needy in our society that can make us feel satisfied with our work. Also through our creative work, we can contribute to the welfare of the underprivileged, especially of children, which I have taken up.
Also, let’s make creativity purposeful by encouraging many hidden talents & skills by providing a platform and opportunity as this also contributes to the lives of many who are waiting for help. In this process, I would also like to contribute through my music to this cause I welcome all of you to join me to give back to the society that has given us much happiness through our art.”
