This is also his third film in Telugu, following Marshal (2019) and Sasanasabha (2022).[1] For the film's score, Basrur collaborated with international musicians to record the orchestral music. The brass section has a 60-member ensemble who recorded the drums, brass and other orchestral scores for four days. Besides composing, Basrur had also worked with the sound design with engineers mastering the score in DTS and Dolby Digital formats.[2][3] Basrur started recording the background score during August and September 2023.[4]
