📌 Key Points
- Thaman S is now composing the background score for ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’.
- Devi Sri Prasad (DSP) was initially slated to handle the film’s score but left due to scheduling.
- The production house, Mythri Movie Makers, cites ‘mutual consent’ for the change.
- The internet draws parallels to DSP’s replacement on ‘Pushpa 2’, fueling fan reactions.
In a surprising turn, Thaman S has been brought on board to compose the background score for ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’, replacing Devi Sri Prasad. This decision, attributed to scheduling conflicts, has triggered comparisons to a similar situation during the production of ‘Pushpa 2’.
Thaman Takes Over ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’ Score
Ustaad Bhagat Singh producer announced on Wednesday that Thaman S has been roped in for the background score of the Pawan Kalyan film.
DSP’s Departure Sparks ‘Pushpa 2’ Flashbacks
They added, “Due to his prior commitments, DSP is unable to accommodate this in his schedule despite making every effort to do so. We respect his decision, and under mutual consent, we are bringing Thaman on board for the background score. DSP’s songs will make you dance, while Thaman will handle the background score.” The internet immediately had flashbacks to when DSP was replaced by Thaman, Ajaneesh Lokanath and Sam CS for the background score of Pushpa 2.
One fan commented, “Same like Pushpa 2… Mythri and DSP ki evo clashes unnattunnay (Mythri and DSP seem to have clashes).” Another fumed, “Aithe memu paatalu matrame vintam. movie mire chusukondi. (Then we’ll listen only to the songs, you watch the movie).” One even commented, “Deenamma mythri mm ki dsp ki entra ee godava prathi saari? Monna Pushpa2 ippudu UBS (Why do Mythri and DSP keep clashing every time? First Pushpa 2 , now UBS).” A fan wrote, “Rockstar dsp garu inko sari e production house lo movie cheyakandi plz (Rockstar DSP please don’t work with this production house anymore).”
Fan Reactions to the Music Director Swap
He then addressed the crowd and added, “Even now, I came to the venue 20-25 minutes ago. They asked me to wait to make an entry for the camera. When I heard the song Kissik being played, I came running. As soon as I arrived, you said, wrong timing, sir, you’re late. What can I do? If I had to address these separately, there’s no kick. I am always open.”
DSP has yet to address being replaced by Thaman. Ustaad Bhagat Singh was supposed to be released in theatres on March 26, but will now hit screens on March 19 for Ugadi. It will clash with Dhurandhar 2 as Toxic stands postponed to June.
The replacement of Devi Sri Prasad by Thaman S has certainly stirred the pot, prompting strong reactions and comparisons to past situations. Only time will tell how this musical shift will be received when ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’ hits theaters.
