Director Boyapati Sreenu is taking a measured approach when discussing the performance of his recent film “Skandha” at the box office. He believes that the movie successfully reached its intended audience and generated significant revenue, and thus, he refrains from making grandiose statements about its box office performance. However, his comments about his previous blockbuster have raised eyebrows among some fans.
Reportedly, when questioned by the media about the comparison between Thaman’s music for “Skandha” and his work on “Akhanda,” with some feeling that “Skandha” fell short of the composer’s previous standards, Boyapati made intriguing remarks. The director expressed confidence in “Akhanda,” stating that it’s a great film and can thrive at the box office even without the background score. These comments have not been well-received by Thaman’s fans and other movie enthusiasts, who believe that Thaman’s background score is a vital element of “Akhanda.”
Some observers have speculated that Boyapati might be feeling insecure about Thaman’s role in his films, drawing parallels to a previous situation with Devi Sri Prasad, where Boyapati made critical comments about the composer at an audio launch, leading to their subsequent non-collaboration. It remains to be seen whether a similar dynamic is emerging between Thaman and Boyapati.
