Production

S. Thaman was roped in as the Music Director of the film which marks his second collaboration with Jr. NTR after Brindavanam and with Srinu Vaitla after Dookudu . Music Sitting Discussions were held at Ooty in May 2012. [4] By June 2012, Thaman reported that he completed 3 songs and is working hard early mornings for fast & better results. In the same month, reports emerged that the film's lead actress Kajal Aggarwal would make her debut as a Playback singer by singing a song in this film as per Thaman's request. [5] In July 2012, Popular R&B singer Akon was said to be roped in to sing a song in this film. [6] Added to this, speculations arose that Akon and Kajal would croon together for a peppy song in the album. [7] However Kajal dismissed the rumors that she was going to sing in this or any other film further adding that he was totally baffled after hearing this news. [8] The makers dropped the idea of roping in Akon due to his non-availability due to busy schedules and remuneration which was near to ₹3 crore (US$360,000). [9] In August 2012, Thaman went to Bangkok to record the Theme song of the film. He joined hands with the famous Bangkok philharmonic orchestra. Singers Ranjith, Rahul Nambiar and Suchitra who accompanied him to Bangkok provided the additional vocals and all of them returned to Chennai later. [10] In September 2012, the scratch version of the song "Sairo Sairo" was leaked into the Internet. The song received enormously positive response almost turning a chartbuster with many praising Thaman's work as different from his old tunes. In February 2013, It was revealed that Tamil actor Simbu sang the song "Diamond Girl", which marks his first song in Telugu. [11] Along with this, another song was crooned by Daler Mehndi. Coincidentally, both songs were penned by Ramajogayya Sastry. [12] However, speculations arose that Simbu replaced Akon for this project later, which were left unanswered. [13]
