Two music directors are working on the same film—Vishwambhara, the upcoming big-budget fantasy drama starring Megastar Chiranjeevi. The film is being directed by Vashishta, known for Bimbisara.
Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani is handling the main music and background score for Vishwambhara. However, music director Bheems Ceciroleo has been brought in to compose a special song for the film. This decision led to some online criticism and rumours suggesting Keeravani was replaced due to creative differences.
Several YouTube channels even accused the filmmakers of disrespecting Keeravani. In response, director Vashishta has clarified the situation. He stated that Keeravani himself recommended bringing in Bheems for the special song, as he was busy working on the background score of Hari Hara Veera Mallu at that time.
Vashishta also reminded fans that even in Bimbisara, he worked with both Keeravani and Chirantan Bhatt. The idea to include a second composer was purely to avoid delay in the production, he explained. Vashishta said Keeravani spoke to Chiranjeevi about this and got his approval too.
Addressing another rumour, Vashishta confirmed that the special song is not a remix of any old Chiranjeevi hit like Aata Kaavala Paata Kaavala or Raguluthundi Mogalipoda. Instead, it is a brand-new song. Vishwambhara features Bollywood actress Mouni Roy will be dancing alongside Chiranjeevi in this number.
Vashishta also revealed that they had considered Anushka and other Bollywood heroines for the female lead but eventually finalised Trisha for the role.
Speaking about the film’s release, the director said he is in no hurry. “Everyone calls a Chiranjeevi film a festival. But for me, it becomes a festival only when I’m fully satisfied with the final output,” he said. He added that the team will announce the release date only after all VFX work is completed to his satisfaction.
