Taut thrillers usually have little room for songs. In his bid to lend mass appeal to `Drishyam 2`, however, Ajay Devgn has decided to incorporate four songs in the narrative. For the job, he has roped in south composer Devi Sri Prasad, who is enjoying his moment in the sun, courtesy `Oo antava` from `Pushpa: The Rise` (2021). A source reveals that `Drishyam 2` director Abhishek Pathak and Devgn zeroed in on him after seeing the raging success of Pushpa’s music. “While the music for the Malayalam `Drishyam` franchise was given by Anil Johnson, Devi Sri will handle the songs and background score for the Hindi remake. He is one of the highest-paid composers in Tollywood, and has delivered several hits in his 20-year career,” says the source.
