5 Director-Music director combinations

Shankar- AR Rahman

This is unarguably the best combinations in India. They worked for 10 films and Rahman somehow waves his magic musical baton differently for Shankar’s films. Every album of theirs - starting from Gentleman to I - were masterpieces. Rahman’s BGM gives the much-needed impact for Shankar’s powerful scenes.

SS Rajamouli-MM Keeravani

Keeravani may have given music for more than 200 films, but he gives his best for Rajamouli’s movies. It is his songs and re-recording that takes Rajamouli’s taking to another level. They both share a good rappoot and one cannot imagine a Jakkana movie without Keeravani.

Mani Rathnam-AR Rahman

Rahman’s first film was under the direction of Mani Rathnam and after that Rahman’s music became a must for Mani Rathnam. They produced some masterpieces like Roja, Bombay, Sakhi, Yuva and many other films.

Sukumar-DSP

This is one of the crazy combinations in Tollywood. All the films that Sukumar directed were DSP musical. The famous item songs and melodies that this combo had given are compulsory in every college student’s playlist.

Trivikram- DSP

All the 4 films that this combination worked were super hit albums and DSP’s BGM for Trivikram’s movie take them to another level.
