Shankar says THIS about Ram Charan's song Raa Macha Macha

As part of the promotional activities, composer Thaman S and director S Shankar sat down for a fun interview, where they discussed how they came up with the concept behind the second song, Raa Macha Macha.

Shankar revealed that he wanted to give a roaring intro song to Ram Charan and aimed to come up with a unique and never-before-seen concept. That's when he decided to incorporate various dance forms from Andhra Pradesh, as well as other states, giving the song a diverse touch in Shankar's signature grand style.

In the interview titled 'The Sounds of Game Changer,' filmmaker Shankar said, "I wanted an intro song for Ram Charan and was thinking of how it could be different. We (Shankar and Thaman) had a long discussion about this. I did a lot of research on the cultural aspects of Andhra Pradesh and came up with this idea."

The director revealed that he incorporated dance forms such as Gussadi, Kommukoya, and Tappeta Gullu from Andhra Pradesh, along with Ranapa from Odisha, Chhau from West Bengal, and others.
