Mahathi Swara Sagar Replaces Mani Sharma as Music Director in Puri Jagannadh’s Film with Vijay Sethupathi

Popular Telugu director Puri Jagannadh has made a bold move for his upcoming social drama featuring Vijay Sethupathi and Tabu. Instead of teaming up again with veteran composer Mani Sharma, he chose Mahathi Swara Sagar, the son of the legendary musician, to compose the music. This unexpected decision has sparked discussions in film circles and across social media, especially since Mahathi stayed away from the limelight in recent years.

Mahathi Swara Sagar gained recognition for his music in Chalo, Bheeshma, and Bhola Shankar. However, his recent work didn’t impress much. In particular, Bhola Shankar received mixed feedback and failed to meet fans’ expectations musically. Still, Puri placed his trust in Mahathi for this high-profile project. Many expected Mani Sharma’s return due to his past successful collaborations with Puri, especially in iSmart Shankar, but the director surprised everyone with this fresh choice.

Tabu Takes on a Negative Role in the Social Drama

This untitled film also brings a fresh surprise with the casting of Tabu in a negative role. Known for delivering powerful performances in films like Drishyam, Andhadhun, and De De Pyaar De, Tabu brings depth and intensity to every role. In this film, she portrays a key character who adds a shocking twist to the story, according to insiders. The makers believe her role will leave a strong impact on the audience.

Shooting Status and Music Progress

The team currently continues to shoot the film and plans to wrap up production in the next two months. Meanwhile, Mahathi Swara Sagar has already composed two songs and actively works on the background score. This fast progress indicates that post-production will begin immediately after filming ends.

Puri Jagannadh and Charmee Kaur are co-producing the film on a tight budget. Still, the unique pairing of Vijay Sethupathi and Tabu, along with the film’s satirical take on a strong social message, has raised high expectations. As always, Puri focuses on mixing sharp storytelling with entertainment and meaningful themes.
