Exit Anoop, enter Thaman
One technician replaced for another is nothing new in Tollywood. There are umpteen such instances in the industry.
Sreenu Vaitla changed at least three cameramen - Andrew, Jayanan Vincent and RD Rajashekar- for 'Baadshah'- before freezing on KV Guhan; Raghava Lawrence replaced Thaman with himself for 'Rebel' and more such replacements.
The latest to join the list is hotshot music composer Anoop Rubens. On a high after successful tracks of 'Ishq',' Lovely' and 'Gundejaari Gallanthayyinde' made him a chartbusting composer, the Hyderabadi-musician had to make way for SS Thaman for NTR-starrer 'Rabhasa' (working title).
A source points out, 'While Anoop is known for his class, and peppy numbers, Santosh is known to chant the mass mantra. The latter was unhappy with the tunes that Anoop gave him.
Considering NTR's fans expect mass numbers from the film, Anoop was replaced as both the composer and director failed to be on the same page.
Thaman, who has given musical renditions for the director's 'Kandireega' and who is known to share a close association with NTR, after having worked for his flicks like 'Brindavanam', 'Baadshah' and soon-to-release 'Ramayya Vastavayya', was the next best choice.'
The source adds, 'Thaman has also composed the soundtrack of producer Bellamkonda Suresh's flicks like 'Bodyguard', 'Jabardasth' and 'Thadakha' in the past and shares a good rapport with him. Although he is tied down with projects in Telugu and Tamil, he had no hesitations in accepting the project.'
