DSP steps down from Ustaad Bhagat Singh's background score; Thaman comes on board

The makers of Ustaad Bhagat Singh have officially clarified the recent speculation surrounding a change in the film’s music team. While Devi Sri Prasad (DSP) was initially signed to compose both the songs and the background score, he will now only be associated with the film’s soundtrack album.According to a statement issued by Mythri Movie Makers, the change comes down to scheduling constraints. The production reportedly faced delays in finalising and sending the film reels required for composing the background score. As a result, the timeline could not align with DSP’s prior commitments, making it difficult for him to complete the background work despite efforts from both sides. However, DSP’s contribution to the film remains intact through the already released tracks ‘Dekhlenge Saala’ and ‘Aura of Ustaad’, both of which have generated significant traction among fans.The production house confirmed that the decision was made with mutual consent and without any creative differences. Composer Thaman S has now been roped in to handle the film’s background score. In their statement, the makers noted that while DSP’s songs will continue to drive the album, Thaman will oversee the background music, ensuring the project stays on schedule.Headlined by Pawan Kalyan, the film is one of the most anticipated Telugu releases of the year. With its worldwide release now scheduled for March 19, 2026, the team appears focused on maintaining momentum while streamlining post-production work.Also Read: Sreeleela to begin filming Ustaad Bhagat Singh with Pawan Kalyan on June 10
