Atlee next a rehash of Magadheera - Will DSP removal give Game Changer a breather ?


  Director Atlee next Hindi project is rehash of the Telugu film Maghadheera starring Ram Charan and directed by SS Rajamouli. This fantasy film released in 2009 was the South Indian dilm to have longest run in theatres and the dubbed versions in Tamil and Malayalam gave RC the market in these languages. A blockbuster hit , it had Chiranjeevi in a cameo. The writing team of Vijayendra that collaborated in the original is rehashing to suit Hindi audience. Kajol plays the role of a princess in an era dating 450 years ago and the modern day student. The story written by Vijayendra for Krishna was rejected and years later his son Rajamouli changed the screenplay and added a Rajamatha to the story of a bodyguard's show of loyalty and courage.

Atlee who has successfully rehashed many popular Tamil films and delivered hits is now camping in Chennai's Hyatt hotel with writers and re- writing the film. Sun Pictures, Atlee and Salman Khan are co- producers. Kamal Haasan is tipped to be part of the cast.


Game Changer team is waiting to see if Ajit's Good Bad Ugly will shift the release date as it has brought in G V Prakash as BGM scorer and DSP has been moved out. However we learn that GVP was brought in to stick to release date.

Adhik always wanted Yuvan for GBA . But Yuvan like  DSP  gives delayed bgm. Se he requested for GV Prakash  and it it was producers who insisted Devi Sri Prasad thinking it will help them in Telugu states.

DSP was not  giving songs  for Adhik  and under  a pressure DSP gave songs for GBA .

Good Bad & Ugly Pongal deadline

GBA had this pongal releases deadline and Adhik started getting very nervous. Eventually DSP told makers he can't give BGM for Pongal deadline.

So choice was with Producers whether to delay production to summer release with DSP music or go with another music directors.

GV Prakash was requested to work on same luckily GV Prakash Kumar has got enough time  and he was bought in immediately.

GV Prakash is already working with Mythrifor their  Robinhood movie. So everything worked out.



DSP and Pushpa 2 song fiasco explained

DSP  even  in November did not give final duet song . He gave one finally in November 15th . They need to shoot that song on Allu Arjun and Rashmika.  It was done recently on Nov 19 to Nov 22 with little of patch work  and completes the entire shooting on Nov 25.

DSP always insist on complete raw edit of talkie with vfx to do bgm something which many Directors cannot oblige.  Director Sukumar keeps improvising till last date and DSP know that but from this year he stuck to his new rule, he started this year. Music Directors  like Anirudh and MM Keeravani do not insist but  Manisharma , Ilayaraja and ARR used to insist on locked edit back in 90s and 2000s . 

DSP  was asked to work on episode wise  which he kept declining. Then producers by then just got impatienent  and requested SS Thaman, Ajaneesh and Sam CS to work on those episodes individually.

DSP was supposed to give NOCs to producer to reprise his bgm works and songs instrumentals of Pushpa in BGM for pushpa 2 second half. That got delayed  but finally he gives it.
