It was Thaman who was everywhere during the times of 'Ala Vaikuntapuramulo'. Simultaneously, Devi Sri Prasad's name faded into obscurity due to a lack of notable albums.
Sukumar's protege, Buchi Babu, also ignored DSP even after scoring for 'Uppena' and approached AR Rahman. Eventually, Thaman overshadowed Devi Sri Prasad.
However, the situation appears to be turning favorable for DSP now. Many are choosing DSP over Thaman.
Directors like Sukumar and Harish Shankar, who hadn't abandoned Devi, have projects with him.
Additionally, there are promising new ventures on the horizon for Devi. Filmmakers such as Shekhar Kammula and Kranti Shekhar, known for their exceptional compositions, are turning to Devi for their films.
Chandu Mondeti and Nag Chaitanya's movie 'Tandel' have also sought Devi Sri Prasad's music.
Apart from these, Devi has been approached for two or three other significant projects.
Everyone has their 'time' in the industry. When someone fails to utilize the opportunity properly, others will replace them.
