B Ajaneesh Loknath, who has composed music for films like Mangalvaaram, Kantara, and Maharaja, has been roped in as the music director for the upcoming Sai Durgha Tej starrer, tentatively titled SDT 18. The makers of the film made the announcement on Saturday.

K Niranjan Reddy, one of the producers of the film, posted on the X page, “Team SDT18 welcomes the sensational musician Ajaneesh Loknath on board. Get ready for his signature Massive tunes and score that promises a total mass feast.” SDT 18 is produced under the banner of PrimeShow Entertainment, which had earlier bankrolled Hanu-Man this year. 

The film marks the directorial debut of Rohith KP, who is also the writer for the film. Aishwarya Lekshmi, meanwhile, is the female lead opposite Sai Durgha. 

Billed as a big-scale action drama, SDT 18 will be released in multiple languages on a pan-India scale. The makers of the film recently completed a major shooting schedule, which comprised of many lavish action sequences. 

Sai Durgha Tej was last seen in the 2023 film Bro, where he shared screen with Pawan Kalyan.
