Guntur Karam: Why Did Thaman Stay Silent?

Thaman, the star music director known for his mesmerizing tunes and impactful background scores. Alongside his musical talent, his active presence on social media and compelling public speeches have garnered admiration. However, his silence from the pre-release event of Guntur Kaaram surprised many, especially considering the considerable criticism and trolling he faced after being confirmed for scoring the movie’s music.

Despite past successful collaborations with Trivikram, the decision to engage Thaman for this project faced resistance from Mahesh‘s fans, who openly called for a change. Despite the opposition, the team continued to support Thaman. During the film’s promotions, while one out of three released singles became a chartbuster, the others, notably the romantic and dance numbers, faced criticism.

It was expected that Thaman might address this criticism at the pre-release event in his usual manner. However, he surprised everyone by stating his intent to share a tweet and refrain from discussing anything further. Thaman’s tendency to speak about his experiences working on each film, along with his rapport with actors, has also attracted trolling.

Netizens often mock him for what they perceive as excessive praise for everyone he collaborates with. Speculations arose that Thaman’s silence at the event might have been a deliberate move to avoid further criticism and negative attention. Nevertheless, insiders close to the film unit revealed that Thaman devoted significant effort to craft an exceptional background score despite the surrounding controversies.
