I joined the team very late, so the announcement was made late.

With the film being made on a high budget and a pan-India release, the background score had to be done very quickly, for which I was considered.

For Pushpa 2, I gave 80-90 percent of the background music, and Devi sir provided the rest, which was basically from the first part, and some new additions.

I had some three to four hits in Telugu, and the recent release KA was also a hit, with its music being appreciated.
