Sukumar, Devi Sri Prasad, and Allu Arjun are among Tollywood’s most iconic combinations, having produced several chartbusters over the last two decades. With Pushpa 2, this combo was expected to take their fame to a global level. Unfortunately, due to various issues, other music composers had to be involved in Pushpa 2 at the last moment replacing DSP.
This decision by Sukumar and Mythri Movie Makers has received criticism from many. It was also speculated that Devi Sri Prasad became busy with his concert works and delayed the completion of the BGM for Pushpa 2. This angered the production house, which went ahead and replaced him with Thaman, Sam CS, and Ajaneesh Loknath.
It was speculated that Allu Arjun also became angry at Devi Sri Prasad for not taking care of the background music of Pushpa 2. All these tussles led to an outburst by DSP in the Pushpa 2 Chennai event. According to Devi Sri Prasad, the film’s producer was not happy with the late submission of the BGM work.
The producers Ravi Shankar and Naveen Yerneni have responded to this. During a media interaction for Robinhood promotions Ravi Shankar said, “We did not feel anything wrong with Devi Sri Prasad’s statement. He clearly said that we have love towards him and also complaints. The media is unnecessarily blowing the issue out of proportion. We will continue working with him for several more films and have great love for him.”
