Veteran composer Mani Sharma is aiming to make a comeback with ‘Double Ismart’. His last big hit was ‘Ismart Shankar’ but his next few albums turned out to be underwhelming. Now, he readied mass tunes for ‘Double Ismart’.

The two songs ‘Steppa Maar’ and ‘Maar Muntha Chod Chinta’ were huge hits already. Despite a few complaints that both of them sound like other versions of ‘Ismart’ title track and ‘Dimaak Kharaab’, they are getting millions of views.But a set of the public are not happy with the movie’s unit placing former Chief Minister KCR’s words in the middle of the song ‘Maar Muntha Chod Chinta’.

They are complaining that it is disrespectful to the great leader. In a recent interview, Mani Sharma claimed that he is a hardcore fan of KCR and it was not meant to hurt the Telangana leader. He added that KCR adds a bit of humour even in a serious matter and it is what one should understand.

Lyricist Kasarla Shyam explained that this song was written with meme references. At the start, we have ‘Boraan’ word and there is ‘Enjoy…Pandagooo’ meme as well. Since KCR’s ‘Em Chayyamantav Mari’ was a huge meme on social media, they used it to entertain the audience but not to hurt anyone.

He said the audience should enjoy it and asked people to forgive them if anyone got hurt. Kavya Thapar is the heroine. Sam K Naidu also worked on the visuals while Sanjay Dutt is playing the villain. Puri Jagannadh is the writer and director for this film while Charmme is the producer.
