While Sricharan Pakala’s Guntur Talkies (2016) was a hit, Adivi Sesh’s Kshanam (2016) gave him much-needed glory and there was no looking back. He grabbed many serious films since then.

On the ever-changing nature of the music scene he said, “Yes, on a rapid pace, especially the sound. The music that I had done for Kshanam was new then but it wouldn’t get the same response now.”

He further added: “Around that, a lot of things keep changing. There has been a lot of amalgamation of genres and patterns of making music and sound differently.”

When asked about composing music for OTT platforms, he remarked: “For OTT, the approach is different. For theatre, I might go heavy or light based on the subject. But for OTT, it is the reverse.”
