Devi Sri Prasad and S Thaman are the leading music directors in Tollywood. Till a decade ago, Devi Sri Prasad was on top and slowly Thama replaced him as the leading music director in Tollywood. Thaman has been scoring blockbusters like Ala Vaikuntapuram Lo, Sarkaruvaari Paata, Aravinda Sametha, and Akhana. On the other hand, Devi Sri Prasad had only Pushpa to his credit in the last few years.
However, for this Sankranthi, both DSP and Thaman competed against each other. While DSP scored music for Waltair Veerayya, Thaman composed for Veera Simha Reddy. Chiranjeevi’s movie had a better edge over Balakrishna’s movie and the songs were well-received. But, the background score of Veera Simha Reddy outscored Waltair Veeryayya. While DSP makes a comeback, Thaman proved once again that he’s a master in BGM.
