Sukumar Speaks Up About Pushpa 2 Song Credit Controversy

At the "Sita Payanam" teaser launch, director Sukumar dropped some unexpected details about the hit song "Sooseki" from Pushpa 2. He revealed that choreographer Shrashti Verma actually handled about 80 percent of the song’s choreography, including many key montage sequences, but she didn’t receive official credit.

Instead, the name credited for the song’s choreography was Ganesh Acharya, which sparked a lot of discussion online. Fans and insiders began to wonder if Verma was quietly brought in to do the work while Ganesh Acharya’s name was used for publicity and brand recognition.

Sukumar’s candid admission added fuel to the ongoing chatter about how credit and recognition work behind the scenes in big films. It also shone a light on the challenges lesser-known artists face despite their contributions.

This revelation opens up a fresh conversation about fairness and visibility in the industry, and whether things might change moving forward.
