Music composer Thaman, who is popular for his blockbuster chartbusters in Telugu and Tamil languages, is in trouble again.
His newest song, "Suvvi Suvvi," which is the first single from Pawan Kalyan's highly anticipated movie OG, directed by Sujeeth, came out lately and rapidly became popular because of its catchy tune. But now that the first celebration is over, there are charges of plagiarism. Earlier, he
Not long after it was out, a number of people on social media started to notice that Suvvi Suvvi sounded a lot like other songs, which led to claims that Thaman had stolen the music. A lot of people online said it was like Undipova Nuvvilaa Rendu Kalla Lopala from the 2020 movie Savari, which was written by Sekhar Chandra. Savari didn't do well in theaters, but the song became a sleeper success, which made the similarity hard to miss for listeners.
Thaman has been accused of this kind of thing before. People have accused him of stealing a lot from Hindi and international songs for years, and fans regularly post videos online that show how similar the two songs are. Earlier, OG's debut single made some people think of a song from the Bollywood movie Baby John. This even caused hashtags like #RemoveThamanFromRaasaab to go popular on social media.
Even though he gets a lot of criticism, Thaman is still one of the most in-demand composers in the business. Top stars and directors still want him because he can make hit songs.
Still, the new plagiarism scandal involving Suvvi Suvvi has brought up old arguments over originality in film music, with fans split between protecting their beloved composer and questioning the validity of his songs.
As the issue grows, it is still unclear if Thaman will respond to the claims or just let the music speak for itself, as he has done in the past.
