Devi Sri Prasad Direct Counter To ‘Pushpa2: The Rule’ Producers

It is known news now for almost everyone that the makers of ‘Pushpa2: The Rule’ decided to replace Devi Sri Prasad with Thaman, Ajaneesh Loknath & Sam C S to score to scored the background score for the film. It was said that Allu Arjun, and Sukumar & the producers were not happy with the background score DSP scored. As the release date was fast approaching, all the key stakeholders in the unit took a collective decision to get the background score done by other music directors. 

It’s been about two weeks since the news was out and Devi Sri Prasad did not respond to the issue until yesterday. Finally, at the Chennai pre-release event today, a visibly upset and hurt Devi Sri Prasad responded on the issue.

During his speech, DSP first took an indirect dig at the team by saying ‘Be it the payment from the producers or the credit to our work for a film, we should ask and get it. Nobody will give us the credit we deserve if we don’t demand’. And, after a few minutes, he attacked the producers of the film directly. ‘Ravi Sir, the producer of the film loves me immensely but more than his love for me, he seems to be giving importance to the complaints he’s receiving about me. It seems like he and the team are finding issues with everything and anything related to me. I’m always on time in delivering my work, my timing is always right and I’m very much open but the team feels that I’m delivering songs and scores with delays’, said a hurt Devi Sri Prasad with a smile on his face. 

Allu Arjun, Sukumar & Devi Sri Prasad delivered many chartbusters in the past. It is unfortunate that the two of them from the trio started having issues with the third person for Pushpa2: The Rule. If we have to go by Devi Sri Prasad’s speech at the event today, he seems to have got hurt very badly and he may not keep quiet without raising his voice and concerns if the team skip giving him the credit for the background score of the film. We may have to wait and see how the producers of the film tackle the issue.
