Earlier, Thaman used to get criticized for lifting tunes from other languages. He admitted that he copied a few tunes but added that he has only done that upon the insistence of the directors. Thaman came back stronger from all these criticisms and gave a chartbuster album for the film Ala...Vaikunthapurramuloo. All the songs in this film have become chartbusters like Samajavaragamana, Ramulo Ramula and Butta Bomma.
Thaman has also added that this film gave him a chance to explore his talent and that is the reason why he could give such an original and rocking album. But the composer got once again as the audience has found out that a background score in this film got lifted from the film Prema Desam.
Thaman scored a melodious background score for the scene where Tabu and Jayaram open up with each other after a long time. That music was completely lifted from a scene between Abbas and Tabu in the film Prema Desam. The netizens have posted these two video clips on social media and are trolling Thaman on his so-called 'originality.' The video is now going viral all over the internet. We have to wait and see if Thaman responds to it or not.
