Mani Sharma mahesh babu

Music composer Mani Sharma has been a maestro of melodies for over three decades now. He has been entertaining audiences in both Tollywood and Tamil cinema, elsewhere in other regions.

In his illustrious career, the senior composer scored music for 11 flicks of Superstar Mahesh Babu. Timeless hits like Murari (2001), Okkadu (2003), and Pokiri (2006) continue to entertain audiences.

However, their collaboration came to an abrupt pause after the movie Khaleja (2011). This left fans curious about what could have happened between the two.

It is learnt that Mani Sharma expressed a brotherly affection for Mahesh Babu. He said the latter had entrusted him with unwavering faith in his musical prowess.

But the music composer admitted that there has been a lack of communication from Mahesh Babu’s side since their last project together, which has left him puzzled.

On a positive note, Mani Sharma fondly remembered the memorable moments he shared with Pawan Kalyan while working on movies like Kushi (2001) and Gudumba Shankar (2004).

He felt that stars like Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan should explore collaborations with different music directors.

Mani Sharma also expressed a wish for opportunities similar to those given to Devi Sri Prasad and Thaman S through rotations among these noted actors. He meant that this sentiment would resonate widely with audiences and may lead to new musical partnerships.
