Hyderabad, March 4 The makers of director Harish Shankar's action entertainer 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', featuring actor Pawan Kalyan in the lead, announced on Wednesday that they were now bringing on board the renowned music director Thaman to compose the film's background music.
The makers stated that they were doing this because music director Devi Sri Prasad, who is composing the music for the film's songs, would not have enough time to allocate for the film's background score as well. Therefore, the makers said that after mutual consent, they were bringing Thaman on board, and that the film would now have two music directors.
In a statement, which they shared through their social media handles, the well-known production house Mythri Movie Makers, which is producing the film, said, "Thank you for the blockbuster response to #Dekhlengesaala and #Auraofustaad from 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. Your love for the music has been incredible."
The production house went on to further say, "We believe that the upcoming song will also rock your hearts. Rockstar DSP and director Harish Shankar have once again delivered songs that fans are celebrating everywhere."
Mythri then made the big announcement. The production house said, "Now, due to our delay in finalizing and sending the background score reels to DSP, we are unable to match his timeline that he has dedicated to this film. 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 makers went on to clarify that this decision had been made keeping the film's timelines and overall vision in mind, and that this would ensure smooth progress without any delays.
"This move comes after mutual discussions and has been taken in the best interest of the film. This is a powerful musical combination. Two accomplished musicians with one vision of making 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' a grand celebration and a lifetime memory for fans. Get ready for a truly memorable experience in theatres!"
For the unaware, the film is to hit screens on March 26 this year.
