The Indian Idol 5 win led Sreeram to enter Bollywood through Yash Raj Films with his first 2 Songs from Mere Brother Ki Dulhan namely “Madhubala” & “Ishq Risk”, the Club Mix Version. His first blockbuster hit song was with Himesh Reshamiya for the Movie Khiladi 786.

Thereon Sreeram went on to singing various hit songs in Bollywood such as “Subhanallah” from Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani and over 200 songs in 7 other languages such as Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Gujrati, Singhalese, Kannada & English.

Sreeram also had the opportunity to showcase his other personal passions; both acting and dancing through his Telugu movies “Prema Geema Jaanta Nai” and “Sri Jagadguru Aadi Sankara”.
