Indukuri Ramakrishnam Raju (31 August 1934 – 14 August 1994), commonly known by his pen name Rajasri,[1] was an Indian lyricist, screenwriter, film director, and music composer in Telugu cinema. He worked on nearly 1000 films, with a significant portion being dubbed films.[2] Rajasri was especially known for writing Telugu lyrics for many films dubbed from Tamil during the 1980s and early 1990s. Due to his contributions to dubbed films, he earned the title "Anuvaada Brahma" (transl. 'Brahma of dubbed films').[3]
