April 20, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Agni Sridhar’s directorial debut, Thamassu, had its music launch recently. The lyrics of all the songs in the film have been penned by his daughter, Ramya Sridhar and have received appreciation, bringing a smile to the author-turned-director’s face. Thus, despite the fact that the song line Maro Maro Allah Allah, Kochu Kochchu (meaning chop chop) Ram Ram…. has invited criticism, the other songs are doing well.

The launch took place at Citadel Hotel on Saturday evening where Shivarajakumar released the CD. Others present at the event were director Agni Sridhar, Smt. Geetha Shivarajakumar, S.A.Chinne Gowda, Raghavendra Rajakumar, music director Sandeep Chowta, actress Padmapriya, Anand, and Audio Mohan. Shivarajakumar expressed that though the music of the film is different from the kind of music his films usually have, it is meaningful.

Shivarajakumar feels that his role in the film is one of the best in his entire career as it has been a tough one to essay.

Bangalore boy Sandeep Chowta has composed the music of the film. He expressed that he would have loved to score music for a Dr. Rajakumar movie but scoring music for Thamassu was one of the best of what he’s done in his career.
