After starting off as an actor in director Shankar's Boys, SS Thaman ventured into music direction with Ravi Teja's superhit Telugu film Kick in 2008. This year, he completes 10 years in the industry as a music composer and he recently spoke to the press regarding different facets of his career.
In this conversation, he even addressed the copycat claims against him. He said, "It’s my responsibility to give what my directors and producers expect. I just give whatever they ask for, which satisfies them. Our directors and producers are not fools to blindly accept if I copy a song. Finalizing a tune is not my job alone, it’s a team decision. All said and done, it’s not that easy to lift a song in this internet age.”
