The rumour in the town is that Devi Sri Prasad's score for 'Pushpa 2' hasn't been okayed and that Ajaneesh B Loknath of 'Kantara' and 'Virupaksha' fame has been onboarded to score for select scenes. This must be for the second half of the powerful sequel.
Devi Sri Prasad is someone who insists on doing both songs and background score by himself. He lost out on several Bollywood opportunities because of this insistence. Given his genius, it is his prerogative to want to understand a movie wholly, not in fragments.
As such, it is a climbdown for him if his score is not being sought after for 'Pushpa 2', his career's most prestigious project by a stretch. But he shouldn't feel snubbed, not because director Sukumar is close to his heart, not because Bunny is close to his heart, not because Mythri Movie Makers is a huge banner.
But because 'Pushpa 2' has entailed sacrifices from Allu Arjun the most. The actor has stayed away from other projects for three years, investing his time and energy in this sequel. He deserves to desire for every scene to be top-notch in every single aspect. Probably, DSP and Bunny have discussed it and the music director gracefully accepted the decision.
'Pushpa 2' hits the cinemas on December 5.
