The audio of Pawan Kalyan's forthcoming movie Agnyaathavaasi was released in Hyderabad on Tuesday, December 19. Tamil musician Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music for the flick, which has five songs.
Baitikochi Chuste and Gaali Vaaluga songs have impressed the audience, but it is Swagatham Krishna, which has been whole-heartedly praised by the listeners. Young singer Niranjana Ramanan has lent her voice for the number of the Sanskrit lines by 18th Century Carnatic music composer Oothukkadu Venkata Kavi.
The viewers had got a glimpse to Swagatham Krishna number in the recently-released teaser from the Telugu film and people were curiously looking forward to hearing the complete song.
The craze around the song became evident after the huge crowd at the venue came to complete silence as soon as Niranjana Ramanan took the stage to sing the song. [Her performance can be watched below]
Swagatham Krishna song was made popular by legendary singer Yesudas and people are now drawing comparisons between them. Click Here to Listen to the Song on iTunes | Gaana | Wynk
