			He not only integrated Indian Classical Music but also experimented with foreign music styles(Persian,Arabic,Spanish) in his [[Malliswari (1951 film)]] .

			People with love called him 'RA"SALURU"'(Juicy) Rajeshwara Rao, as it was his compositions, which seemed to have made people to feel like eating/drinking sweet juices while listening to them.In other words he is capable of illustrating NAVARASA's(Nine Moods/Emotional states) with his compositions.His songs "Narayana Nee Leela NAVARASA Bharitam" and "Manavude Mahaneeyudu" from 1972 film [[Bala Bharatam]] stands testimony for this.

			Never compromised with self respect,known for his sensitive nature, he walked away from many projects,similar to [[Daana Veera Soora Karna]] film.

			He was one of the music directors to make use of [[Persian music]] in Indian film compositions.

'''Saluri Rajeswara Rao''' (11 October 1922 – 25 October 1999) was an Indian [[Music composer|composer]], multi instrumentalist, [[Conducting|conductor]] singer-songwriter, actor, music producer, and musician known for his works predominantly in [[Cinema of South India|South Indian cinema]].<ref name=tfmpage>M. L. Narasimham, [http://www.tfmpage.com/ppp/rajrao.html "Trend-setter in Light Music"] ''[[The Hindu]]'', 12 March 1993.</ref> Regarded as one of the finest music composers, Rao's works are noted for integrating [[Indian classical music]] in [[Telugu cinema]] for over half a century.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/in-a-different-league/article5931863.ece|title=In a different league|work=The Hindu|date=21 April 2014|access-date=2 August 2019}}</ref>

In his recordings, Rao pioneered the use of light music in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] cinema; ''"Thummeda Oka saari"'', ''"Kopamela Radha"'', ''"Podarintilona"'', ''"Rave Rave Koyila"'', ''"Challa Gaalilo"'' and ''"Paata Paduma Krishna"'' were all written by his father. Rao's most rewarding assignments came from [[Gemini Studios]], which he joined in 1940 and with which he remained for a decade.<ref name=telugucinema>{{cite web|url=http://www.telugucinema.com/c/publish/starsprofile/srajeshwararao_oct27_printer.php|title=A Tribute to (Ra)Saluri Rajeshwara Rao|publisher=TeluguCinema.com|date=27 October 2007|access-date=23 March 2011|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120225071843/http://www.telugucinema.com/c/publish/starsprofile/srajeshwararao_oct27_printer.php |archive-date=25 February 2012}}</ref>

After leaving Gemini, he received an offer to provide music for [[B. N. Reddy]]'s ''"[[Malliswari (1951 film)|Malleeswari]]"'' in 1950; the song was a hit. ''"Vipranarayana"'', ''"Missamma"'' and a host of other musical hits – more than a hundred in Telugu most of which won the [[National Film Awards]] for best film(s), and [[Tamil language|Tamil]] and a few in [[Kannada]] – followed. When Vijaya's ''Missamma'' (originally a Telugu film) was remade as ''Miss Mary'' in [[Bollywood]], the film's soundtrack retained one of Rao's compositions.<ref name=tfmpage/>

==Early career==

Rao's introduction to cinema came unexpectedly, in the form of Mr. Huchins' (of the Huchins Recording Company) visit to Rao's home district of [[Vizianagaram]] in 1934. A child prodigy, Rao could identify the [[Carnatic music]] ragams at age four; by the time he was seven, he was giving stage performances. Huchins spotted young Rajeswara Rao's talent, and took him to [[Bangalore]] with his father; there, young Rao recorded "Bhagawat Gita". Film producers P. V. Das and Gudavalli Ramabramham visited Bangalore and, impressed by Rao's singing ability, brought him to [[Madras]]. They cast him as Lord [[Krishna]] in their production of ''[[Sri Krishna Leelalu]]'' in 1934. The film was released the next year (1935) and Rajeshwara Rao became a household name all over [[Andhra Pradesh]].

Rao went to Calcutta (now [[Kolkata]]) to act in ''Keechaka Vadha'', and met such stalwarts as [[Kundan Lal Saigal]] and [[Pankaj Mullick]].<ref name=telugucinema/> He became a disciple of Saigal and studied [[Hindustani music]] for a year, learning to play the sitar and surbahar. Rao had already mastered playing the tabla, dholak, and miridangam; later instruments were piano, harmonium, mandolin and electric guitar. He learned orchestration, and how to mix the sounds of different instruments.

==Music director==
Returning to Madras in 1938, Rao formed his own music troupe. He worked as assistant to Jayaramayyar for a Tamil film, ''Vishnuleela'', in which he also played the role of Balarama and sang his own songs. He became a full-fledged music director on the film ''[[Jayaprada (film)|Jayaprada]]''. He continued acting in ''[[Bala Nagamma (1942 film)|Bala Nagamma]]'' and ''[[Illalu]]'' (in which he played opposite his singing partner, [[Raavu Balasaraswathi]]).{{citation needed|date=June 2015}}

When Rao entered the industry, there was no playback system. The actors sang and acted at the same time as the orchestra played in the background, unseen by the camera. While he was making ''[[Illalu]]'', the playback system became popular.<ref name=tfmpage/>

Among the classical [[raga]]s, Rao liked "Bhimplas (Abheri)", "Sindhu Bhairavi", "Kafi", "Kalyani", "Pahad" and "Malkauns (Hindolam)", which he used most frequently in his songs.
His two assistants (for over four decades), Rajagopal and Krishnan – both well-versed in classical music – were an asset to him.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}}

==Personal life==
Rao was born in the village of [[Sivaramapuram]], near [[Salur]] in [[Vizianagaram district]] (formerly [[Srikakulam district]]), Andhra Pradesh, India. His father, Sanyasi Raju, was a famous [[mridangam]] player at concerts performed by [[Dwaram Venkataswamy Naidu]] and also a lyricist. {{citation needed|date=June 2015}}

Rao was married to Rajeswari Devi; the couple had five sons and four daughters. His eldest son, Saluri Ramalingeswara Rao, was a piano and electric-organ player in South India. His second son, Saluri Poornachandra Rao, was a guitarist. His third and fourth sons, Saluri Vasu Rao and [[Saluri Koteswara Rao]] (Koti), are also music directors in the Telugu film industry. Rao's youngest son, Saluri Koti Durga Prasad, is not associated with the film industry. His daughters are Ramadevi, Mangamma, Kousalya, and Vijayalakshmi. Saluri Rajeswara Rao's elder brother, [[Saluri Hanumantha Rao]], was a music director in the Kannada and Telugu film industry.
