Development

Srimanthudu is Prasad's second collaboration with both Babu and Siva, following Mirchi (2013) and 1: Nenokkadine (2014). The soundtrack featured six songs in a variety of genres ranging from folk, melody to uplifting numbers, which Prasad felt that the music strikes a chord from all sections of audience. [1] Babu ensured the lyrics should be clearly heard and each song has a value in it. [2]

During the production in Karaikudi and at Ramoji Film City, Siva explained the situation to Sastry who took inputs from the farmer and developed the song "Jaago". Sastry said that it took him more time to complete the lyrics for "Jaago" in comparison to other songs. [3] Composed in the indie rock genre, the song was performed by Raghu Dixit and Rita Thyagarajan. [4] Haasan revealed that "Charuseela" was based on her character in the film, and the tune was inspired by one of Michael Jackson 's compositions. [5] Regarding that song, Prasad described it as a "peppy dance number" with a fusion of Telugu words with English slang and Prasad "incorporated the Michael Jackson rhythm in the song". [1]

Prasad simultaneously re-recorded the soundtrack in Tamil for the film's dubbed version Selvandhan which progressed on late-July and early-August 2015. [1] Aditya Music marketed the film's soundtrack after purchasing the music rights to ₹1 crore (US$130,000). [6]

Release

The film's soundtrack was launched on 18 July 2015 at the Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad with the cast and crew in attendance. [7] It was further broadcast live on YouTube channels of the production company and record label, as well as its televised premiere on TV9 Telugu and Zee Telugu and other television channels. [8] It was digitally released on the same date of the launch event. [9] The soundtrack for the film's Tamil version Selvandhan was launched at an event held at Sathyam Cinemas in Chennai on 4 August 2015. [10]
