'Drishyam': Why Abhishek Pathak chose composer Ravi Basrur over DSP
What's the story
The third installment of the Drishyam franchise, titled Drishyam: The Conclusion, is all set to hit theaters on October 2. The film's director Abhishek Pathak recently revealed why he chose Ravi Basrur over Devi Sri Prasad for the music score to Variety India. Pathak said at a recent event in Goa, "If you liked the music of Drishyam 2, you will love the music this time as well."
Scheduling issues
'I needed a composer who would have sufficient time'
Pathak explained that Prasad's busy schedule was a major factor in his decision.
"Devi Sri Prasad's dates were difficult to get as he is also making his acting debut now with Yellamma besides his other projects as a composer," he said.
"I needed a composer who would have sufficient time to work on my songs and score."
