Star music composer Thaman is enjoying the time of his life with most of the big projects coming his way. In the past few years, he has been at the top of his game and given super hit music to the biggest stars in South India like Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Vijay, Balakrishna, NTR, and many others. At the same time, no other music composer has faced as many trolls and criticism as Thaman as he often faces allegations of copying tunes.
Despite Thaman explaining that he doesn’t copy and saying that he takes others’ tracks up on the suggestion of directors, the trolling doesn’t stop. If you go and type Thaman’s copy tunes in YouTube, you will find a ton of videos that include songs and background scores. Though he does not lift them as it is, experts claim that they share a very striking resemblance which is the reason for all the criticism. Recently, his hit tune ‘Jai Balayya’ from ‘Veera Simha Reddy’ was very similar to ‘Osey Ramulamma’ son. This led to a lot of criticism.
Now, he is working on #BoyapatiRAPO and the teaser came out on Monday. While the teaser is filled with action sequences, what caught everyone’s attention is the thumping background score which elevated the proceedings. The soundtrack will surely make the masses go crazy in theatres. But netizens are quick to point out that it is reportedly lifted from other’s work.
While some point out that it is similar to Thaman’s own ‘Ranjithame’ song from ‘Varisu’, there are a few who claim that it is lifted from Vijay’s Tamil film ‘Vettaikaran’ which came out back in 2009. The movie was a failure but the background used to elevate Vijay’s character seemly has a striking resemblance to what Thaman composed for Ram and Boyapati’s film. The netizens have already begun trolling the music composer and we need to see how Thaman responds to it.
