Ever since Devi Sri Prasad has been kept out of Balakrishna’s Gautamiputra Satakarni, there’s a lot of curiosity on who’s going to replace Devi for the Balayya’s landmark film. Since the film happens to be historic epic, many in film circles thought Krish may zero in on Keeravani or Ilayaraaja. However, Krish proved their guesses wrong by roping in Kanche music director. Chirantan Bhatt is finalised to compose music for Gautamiputra Satakarni.

Given that the music of Kanche was well received, Krish had retained Chirantan. Chirantan had worked for films Gabbar is Back, Ragini MMS 2 and even worked for two tracks in Ram Charan-starrer Zanjeer.

But Chirantan feels working for GPSK is challenging and interesting as he doesn’t have much freedom to use instruments like he does for regular commercial films. What’s more? Chirantan has already started working on the tunes and since it’s historic epic, the film would mostly have melodies.
