It would be okay for you to believe that a creative individual who is good at one thing can do only that. But we are living in the times of multi-tasking and it also applies to the entertainment industry. There are many individuals who have the ability and skill to show their talent in different fields.
Speaking about Tollywood, there are few lyricists in here who are actually good singers. The list comprises of names such as Chandrabose, Ramajogayya Sastry, Ananth Sriram. Apart from penning some really wonderful lines, they can also render their voices in the most effective manner.
Even some of the other lyricists can also sing but their voice is quite restricted. As for these three, they can also take up playback singing. So far, we have seen music directors like Rahman, Devi Sri Prasad, Thaman becoming singers but a lyricist becoming a singer would be an interesting feat.
