Exlcusive: Music director changed for Vijay Deverakonda’s Rowdy Janardhana

Vijay Deverakonda is currently busy with two films, “Ranabaali” and “Rowdy Janardhana.” The latter stars Keerthy Suresh as the female lead and is being produced by Dil Raju and Shirish under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner. Interestingly, the film has undergone a major change in its music department after completing a schedule.

Initially, the makers had roped in Christo Xavier, the rising Malayalam composer, for the project. He had also composed the background score for the film’s title glimpse released in December 2025. However, director Ravi Kiran Kola has now moved ahead with a different composer.

According to our exclusive update, popular singer and composer Vishal Mishra is making his Telugu debut as a music director with “Rowdy Janardhana.” Vishal Mishra rose to fame with the hit song “Kaise Hua” from Kabir Singh and later delivered several chartbusters, including “Pehle Bhi Main” from Animal and “Amma” from Guntur Kaaram.

He will now compose both the songs and background score for “Rowdy Janardhana.” The reason behind the change in music directors is currently unknown.

Interestingly, filmmaker Trivikram Srinivas had also recently changed the music director midway for “Adarsha Kutumbam,” replacing Harshavardhan Rameswar with S. Thaman.
