Travels of a Telugu folk song

From M.L.Narasimham in The Hindu "The tune for ‘Yeruvaaka saagaaro ranno chinnanna’ was inspired by the folk song ‘Ayyo Koyyoda…’ popularised by singer-lyricist Valluri Jagannatha Rao. It was first used in Sri Lakshmamma Katha (1950) for ‘Ayyo pilloda cheetiki maatiki chittemmantav’ sung by Jikki. Tamil music director G. Ramanathan borrowed the ‘Yeruvaka saagaaro…’ tune for ‘Summa kidantha sothuku nashtam’ rendered by Jikki and P. Leela in Madurai Veeran. For the film’s Telugu dubbed version,Sahasaveerudu, Jikki and P. Susheela sang the song, ‘Somarulaithe thindiki nashtam.’ Interestingly,Madurai Veeran was released on April 13, 1956, and three weeks later, Saradhi’s Kaalam Maaripochi, the Tamil version of Rojulu Maaraayi, starring Gemini Ganesh and Anjali Devi, was released. The Tamil audience were under the mistaken impression that ‘Yerupooti povaye anne sinnanne’ shot on Waheeda Rehman had been lifted from Madurai Veeran!"
