What DSP about Pushpa 2 The Rule

There were rumours that the makers of Pushpa 2 were dissatisfied with Devi Sri Prasad after he was unable to deliver the background score on time so they had roped in composers Thaman, Ajaneesh Lokanath and Sam CS instead.

At the event, DSP said, "Ravi (Shankar) sir, you’ve been blaming me saying that I didn’t deliver the song or the background score on time. I know you love me. Where there is love, there are complaints as well. But, I think you have more complaints about me than love.”

'They asked me to wait to make an entry…'

He went on to address the crowd and said, “Even now, I came to the venue 20-25 minutes ago. They asked me to wait to make an entry for the camera. When I heard the song Kissik being played, I came running. As soon as I arrived, you said, ‘Wrong timing, sir. You’re late’. What can I do? If I had to address these separately, there’s no kick. I am always open.”

Devi Sri Prasad won a National Award for his music in Pushpa: The Rise. Pushpa 2: The Rule is the sequel to Sukumar’s 2021 film. Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings are producing the movie. Pushpa 2: The Rule will be released in theatres on December 5 in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Bengali.
