Ace music director S. Thaman, who climbed to the top of the Telugu film industry through sheer talent and consistency, now finds himself at the center of a unique box office clash. With two massive films, OG and Akhanda 2, releasing on September 24 and 25, Thaman is under the spotlight once again.

Thaman’s journey began with Kick, and over time he built strong alliances with both the Mega and Nandamuri families. His hit scores for Balakrishna earned him the nickname “Nandamuri Thaman” among fans. Simultaneously, his powerful music for films like Bruce Lee, Vakeel Saab, and Bheemla Nayak brought him the affectionate title “Konidela Thaman.”

Now, expectations are sky-high from both fanbases. The OG bit song has already gone viral, while the teaser for Akhanda 2 has viewers eagerly awaiting Thaman’s intense background score. His recent success with Daaku Maharaaj further reinforces fan confidence.

While social media has often trolled Thaman ahead of big releases, this time, the mood is more supportive. With both OG and Akhanda 2 generating positive buzz, fans from both camps are hopeful for musical magic — and hopefully, no unnecessary comparisons.

This Dussehra, all eyes are on Thaman as he takes on one of the most high-pressure weekends of his career, carrying the expectations of two legendary film families.
