Telugu superstar Balayya surprises 'Daku Maharaj' music director Thaman with a Rs 2 crore Porsche.

Actor Nandamuri Balakrishna (Balayya) has surprised music director S. Thaman with an extravagant gift – a brand-new Porsche Cayenne, in recognition of Thaman's exceptional contributions to the success of their recent film Daaku Maharaaj. The generous gesture highlights their successful collaboration and Balakrishna’s appreciation for Thaman’s work.

Balakrishna’s team took to X (formerly Twitter) to share pictures of the actor presenting a bouquet to Thaman and handing him the keys to the luxury car. The post read, “#NandamuriBalakrishna Garu surprises the sensational @MusicThaman with a grand Porsche as a token of appreciation!” While the exact model of the Porsche wasn’t confirmed, it appears to be one of the Cayenne variants, with the price range for the model typically ranging from Rs 1.42 crore to Rs 2 crore.

Thaman’s outstanding musical work has been integral to the success of several of Balakrishna's films. His music for Akhanda, Veera Simha Reddy, Bhagavanth Kesari, and Daaku Maharaaj has received rave reviews. His powerful background scores and catchy mass numbers have significantly enhanced the cinematic experience, making him one of the most celebrated composers in the Telugu film industry. The background score in Daaku Maharaaj was particularly praised, contributing to the film’s appeal.

Daaku Maharaaj’s massive auccess

Released during Sankranthi, Daaku Maharaaj saw remarkable success at the box office, grossing over Rs 125 crore worldwide. The film, which also starred Bobby Deol, Shraddha Srinath, Pragya Jaiswal, and Urvashi Rautela, was lauded for its technical excellence and strong performances. Despite facing competition from other major releases, Daaku Maharaaj stood its ground, with Balakrishna and Thaman’s contributions playing a key role in its success.

Balakrishna has consistently collaborated with Thaman for many of his recent hits, and the Porsche gift is a fitting token of gratitude for the composer’s outstanding contributions. Thaman’s music continues to be a driving force behind the success of Balakrishna’s films, with their next collaboration, Akhanda 2, already highly anticipated by fans.
