**Hyderabad, [Date]:** Naga Chaitanya’s latest film, *Custody* (Telugu title: *Tandeel*), is generating significant buzz, with much of the praise directed towards its music. The film, based on true events, saw Chaitanya immerse himself in the role, spending time in Srikakulam and Visakhapatnam to understand the local lifestyle and dialect. Directed by Chandu Mondeti (known for the pan-India hit *Karthikeya*), and produced by Bunny Vas under the banner of Allu Aravind’s presentation, *Custody* pairs Chaitanya with Sai Pallavi for the second time after *Love Story*.
The film’s musical score, however, almost didn’t happen. Producer Allu Aravind initially hesitated to approach Devi Sri Prasad due to the composer’s involvement with *Pushpa 2*. It was only after Allu Arjun’s endorsement – suggesting Devi Sri Prasad was the perfect choice – that Aravind decided to proceed.
Post-release, the decision is widely seen as a masterstroke. Devi Sri Prasad’s music is being lauded as a pivotal element in the film’s success, elevating even ordinary scenes with his distinctive scoring. The vintage Devi Sri Prasad sound has been particularly appreciated. In essence, Devi Sri Prasad’s contribution is being described as the lifeblood of *Custody*, transforming the love story into a captivating cinematic experience. The composer’s work has reaffirmed Allu Arjun’s confidence in his musical talent.
