Till a year back, Thaman was enjoying the form of his life. He delivered some of his best work since ‘Tholi Prema’ and movies like ‘Aravinda Sametha’, ‘Ala Vaikunthapuramlo’, ‘Akhanda’ and others showcased his caliber. But things took a sudden turn for the star composer as he failed to give one single hit album in recent times.
While his background scores are still elevating many movies, his songs for films like ‘Vakeel Saab’, ‘Veera Simha Reddy’, ‘Bheemla Nayak’, ‘Sarkaru Vaari Paata’ and ‘BRO’ failed to become a hit. Barring a song or two, all these albums ended up being disappointments. Suddenly, there is a lot of negativity surrounding Thaman. There was a lot of news regarding firing Thaman from Mahesh Babu’s ‘Guntur Kaaram’. He finally managed to keep his place but fans are not happy with him being the composer.
Also, Pawan Kalyan fans are not happy with Thaman being the composer of ‘OG’. His work in ‘Godfather’ was disappointing too and Mega fans are worrying about the album of Ram Charan’s upcoming movie ‘Game Changer’. There is huge pressure on Thaman to deliver with his next few albums. Though there is no doubt regarding his BGMs, his songs need to become successful this time.
He is the composer for Ram and Boyapati’s ‘Skanda’ which is releasing on 15th September while ‘Bhagavanth Kesari’ is hitting the screens on 19th October. The music in teasers of both films generated a positive response while the first song from ‘Skanda’ was decent. Thaman needs to give a blockbuster album for at least one of these two mass entertainers. Let us wait and see what happens.
