Bappi Lahiri's compositions for Chiranjeevi's films are still very popular among the audiences. He had composed music for the actor's films that include 'State Rowdy' (1989), 'Gang Leader' (1991), 'Rowdy Alludu' (1991) and 'Big Boss' (1995). Among the four films, three were blockbuster hits.

Lahiri's iconic songs also include 'Disco Dancer', 'Pyar Bina Chain Kahaan Re', 'Pag Ghungroo Bandhe', 'Tamma Tamma', ''Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy', 'Tune Maari Entriyan' among others.
Bappi Lahiri passed away at the age of 69 in Mumbai's CritiCare Hospital on Tuesday night due to OSA (obstructive sleep apnea).
His cremation ceremony will take place on Thursday morning.
