Thaman Opens Up on Missing His First Chance with Prabhas, Promises Musical Storm in The Raja Saab

S.S. Thaman, one of Tollywood’s most sought-after music directors, continues his dream run. Every soundtrack he creates turns into a chartbuster, and his recent work for They Call Him OG won wide praise. Now, fans feel even more excited as Thaman composes music for Prabhas’ upcoming film The Raja Saab.

Thaman Opens Up About His Missed Chance

In a recent interview, Thaman shared an interesting fact that surprised many fans. He revealed that he once received the offer to compose music for Prabhas’ 2012 action entertainer Rebel. At that time, Thaman agreed to work on the film as its music director, but director Raghava Lawrence later chose to compose the songs himself. Thaman then stepped away from the project and lost what could have been his first collaboration with Prabhas more than a decade ago.

First Full Collaboration After 12 Years

Even though Thaman missed Rebel, he still contributed to a few later Prabhas projects. He composed the music for the Saaho birthday teaser and created the background score for Radhe Shyam. These contributions stayed limited, but The Raja Saab finally gives Thaman the chance to handle the entire album as the main music director.

Four Songs, Big Hype

Thaman spoke with great confidence about The Raja Saab album. He revealed that the film includes four songs and promised to deliver a complete musical storm. With his consistent track record of blockbuster albums, fans expect him to create magic with this soundtrack.

Film Release and Expectations

Director Maruthi, known for his entertaining storytelling, leads the project. The makers locked January 9, 2026, as the release date and built massive buzz around the film. Fans see this collaboration between Prabhas and Thaman as one of the biggest highlights of The Raja Saab.

After waiting 12 years to work with Prabhas on a full-fledged project, Thaman finally gets his big moment. Fans eagerly wait to hear his powerful music and watch how it adds mass appeal to the film’s grand theatrical release.
