Music composer Devi Sri Prasad sparked controversy at the pre-release event of Pushpa 2, held in Chennai on November 24. He openly addressed the controversy surrounding him allegedly failing to deliver the film's background score on time. Devi Sri Prasad blamed producer Ravi Shankar, saying, "Ravi sir, you've been blaming me saying that I didn't deliver the song or the background score on time. I know you love me.
