His first film in Telugu, ''Mooga Prema'' was released in 1971; | His first film in Telugu, ''Mooga Prema'' was released in 1971;It was his Friend K.Chatterjee keeping faith in his talent renamed him as "Chakravarthy" from "Apparao' so that he will do justice to that Royal category in his profession.Ultimately his creativity soared to new heights with more than 5000 song compositions to his credit.Another version—before this film he composed background music for a Hindi movie, in that movie titles his name was wrongly mentioned as Chakravarthi, actually it is Apparao; then he continued as Chakravarthy. ''Mooga Prema'' film was not a good hit at the box-office, ''Saradha'' (1973) gave him a good hit, but after this film also he was not well recognized. | ||
In 1977, ''[[Yamagola]]'' was released and this was the great turning point of his career. | In 1977, ''[[Yamagola]]'' was released and this was the great turning point of his career. In this ''[[N. T. Rama Rao]]'' movie directed by ''[[Tatineni Rama Rao]]'' ,he introduced a new trend with ''[[S. P. Balasubrahmanyam]]'' by making him sing with voice modulation close to actor's voice.With ''[[V. Madhusudhan Rao]]'' 1978 film ''[[Mallepoovu]]'' he became an architect for musical extravaganza.He abstained from reproducing Dada ''[[S. D. Burman]]'' tunes for base Hindi film ''[[Pyaasa]]'' thus proving his mettle as an able composer and silenced critics from assigning him a mass,commercial,fast beat composer tag. His music score for movie ''[[Khaidi (1983 film)]]'' provided much needed commercial break in career for actor ''[[Chiranjeevi]]'' and Director ''[[A. Kodandarami Reddy]]'' . His music for ''[[Neti Bharatam]]'' and ''[[Pratighatana]]'' proved vital for actress ''[[Vijayashanti]]'' stardom. He rendered nice popular compositions in ''[[Dasari Narayana Rao]]'' favourite ragas ''[[Shivaranjani]]'' , ''[[Bhupalam]]'' for films ''[[Balipeetam]]'', ''[[Premabhishekam (1981 film)]]'' , ''[[Srivari Muchatlu]]'' directed by him. Eventually he contributed for ''[[Akkineni Nageswara Rao]]'' career growth as well. His score for ''[[Pasivadi Pranam]]'' with electronic orchestration was a boom,much needed relief for actor Chiranejevi after some slack period. | ||
His lack of exposure to musical stalwarts in ''[[Gharana]]'' and Calcutta, Mumbai film industry has never been a hurdle for his growth as a successful composer. He very well knew about his limitations and excelled based on his intuitions and exemplary natural creativity. Critics agreed upon this, as he was hardly spending 30 minutes to compose a song.During his peak of career he was recording more than 5 songs in a day working 16 hrs per day. | |||
He realized his potential in folk music and intelligently blended it with classical ragas.Proved the fact that music is boundless and it is mass entertainment,not just pundits makes any art worthy.Established unique style of his own. He was humble and down to earth and always respected,proclaimed ''[[K. V. Mahadevan]]'' as genius in contemporary musicians.He was conducting music for him in his early days of career before 1970. | |||
His main assistants Krishna-Chakra duo remained loyal to him throughout his career though once in a while they had their own scores. | |||
''[[Raj-Koti]]'' duo assisted him for several years. | |||
''[[M. M. Keeravani]]'' was his assistant. He introduced several singers with talent to industry.''[[S. P. Sailaja]]'' , ''[[Vandemataram Srinivas]]'' are notable singers introduced by him. | |||
Famous music director ''[[Nartanasala]]'' fame ''[[Susarla Dakshinamurthi]]'' worked some time with his team | |||
He was a dubbing artiste and lent his voice in 600 movies. He also penned lyrics for a few songs. He was also a singer and acted in a few films.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Chakravarthy - King of Melody|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/research/anal/anal-chakravarthy.html|website=www.idlebrain.com}}</ref> | He was a dubbing artiste and lent his voice in 600 movies.
