Lyricist Ramajogayya Sastry is a prolific writer adding expression and colour to Telugu film songs. Hailing from a family of agriculturists in Guntur, Sastry worked on lyrics to songs even as he was studying in Warangal and Kharagpur for his undergraduate and graduate degrees. Originally harbouring ambitions of becoming a playback singer, Sastry first wrote songs for the Telugu movie Yuvasena in 2004. Mentored by poet and lyricist Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry, Sastry went on to work with composers such as Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Yuvan Shankar Raja, Devi Sri Prasad, Thaman S, M.M. Keeravani and more, demonstrating a skill for finding just the right phrase and tone for party songs as well as sombre, slow-burn ballads—and anything in between. Working with A.R. Rahman, Sastry wrote the Telugu lyrics for songs from the period drama Ponniyin Selvan II: PS 2 in 2023, and went on to team up with Santhosh Narayanan for the sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD, working on the hits “Bhairava Anthem” and “Hope of Shambala”. In 2024, Anirudh Ravichander enlisted Sastry for the action-drama Devara: Part 1. These projects solidified Sastry’s ability to speak for generations as his lyrics are sung by stars such as Shilpa Rao, Nakash Aziz, Dhee, Sanjith Hegde and more.
