Director Sukumar's upcoming film with Ram Charan is making headlines as it marks a significant shift in his creative team. For the first time in his career, Sukumar will not be collaborating with music director Devi Sri Prasad (DSP), breaking a partnership that has defined many of his past successes. This development has surprised many fans, given the duo's celebrated track record, especially after their work on blockbuster projects.
Sukumar, known for his unique storytelling and stylish filmmaking, has always relied on DSP to deliver memorable soundtracks and background scores. However, according to reports, the two began to drift apart during the making of 'Pushpa 2: The Rule', where Sukumar reportedly worked with multiple composers for the background score. The buzz suggests that Shashwat Sachdev is now being considered for the music of Sukumar's next film, though discussions are still ongoing.
Meanwhile, DSP is currently busy with his acting commitments, shooting for 'Yellamma', and has become more selective about his music projects. The news of Sukumar and DSP going their separate ways has sparked considerable discussion among fans and industry watchers, with many expressing shock and curiosity about the new musical direction.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the new Ram Charan starrer is described as a stylish action drama. Pre-production is underway, with the film set to launch in September and principal photography expected to begin after Dasara. The makers are eyeing a 2027 release, raising anticipation about how the new musical collaboration will shape the film's soundscape.
