Thaman composes background score for Majili

Composer SS Thaman, who is back in the reckoning after a series of musical hits like Bhaagamathie, Tholi Prema, Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava and Mr Majnu, has been roped in to score the background music for Majili. Starring Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Akkineni, the film is directed by Shiva Nirvana.

"Gopi Sundar, who was the music composer of the film, has opted out of the project due to undisclosed personal reasons. Hence, the makers have approached Thaman, who immediately grabbed the offer. He has begun his work and is expected to complete the proceedings in a week's time," informs a source.

Produced by Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi, Majili is slated for release on April 5.

In the interim, Thaman is also committed to scoring music for Ravi Teja’s Disco Raja, Venkatesh-Naga Chaitanya-starrer Venky Mama and an untitled Trivikram-Allu Arjun film.
