The music director issue surrounding Pushpa 2 became a major topic of discussion before the film’s release. As the release date approached, the producers sought help from multiple music directors, including Sam CS, Ajaneesh Loknath, and Thaman, to compose the background scenes for the film. This situation seemingly upset Devi Sri Prasad (DSP), who indirectly addressed the issue in one of his statements.
Ultimately, the makers decided to use Sam CS’s score alongside DSP’s background music in the movie. However, Sam CS later claimed that he composed 90% of the background score. This sparked mixed reactions, as the official score for Pushpa 2 now includes contributions from both Sam and DSP.
Sam CS shared a total of 18 tracks with a combined length of 16 minutes and 18 seconds. On the other hand, DSP’s original soundtrack (OST) jukebox is 33 minutes and 29 seconds long. This means that DSP composed the majority of the background score for the movie, including key scenes.
While Sam CS did indeed compose the score for some important sequences, it appears that his claim of composing 90% of the background score is exaggerated. Netizens have offered varying opinions on the matter, further fueling the debate over the final music composition of Pushpa 2.
