Star composer SS Thaman is no stranger to the music industry’s highs and lows. While he has crafted masterful soundtracks that became blockbusters, he’s equally faced criticism when his music falls below expectations. In contrast, contemporaries like Anirudh have been consistently delivering hits, regardless of the project’s scale.
Thaman’s limited recent success is raising concerns and mounting pressure from various quarters. Currently, Thaman is immersed in putting the finishing touches on the background score for the movie “Skandha” and is gearing up for the re-recording of Balakrishna’s “Bhagavanth Kesari.” Despite “Skandha” being a Boyapati directorial, Thaman’s music for it hasn’t garnered much appreciation, causing him anxiety.
The expectation is high for him to deliver captivating background music for the film. Critics have accused him of copying foreign tunes in songs like “Hungry Cheetah” from Power Star “OG.” Additionally, a leaked song from Ram Charan’s “Game Changer” failed to convince fans, though the final version may differ. Rumors swirl that Thaman’s compositions for “Guntur Karam” aren’t receiving unanimous approval from Mahesh and Trivikram.
Amidst this turmoil, Thaman faces the daunting task of proving himself once again with four significant projects, including Nayanthara’s 75th film and Nivin Pauly’s next. The scrutiny of the quality of his music has never been higher, making these upcoming endeavors crucial for his reputation and career.
