These lines in Malayalam was featured in all six languages.[16]
The film further features additional background score given by Sam C. S.[17]

Controversy
[edit]On 24 November 2024, at the pre-release event in Chennai, composer Devi Sri Prasad blamed the producers for repeated complaints against him that he failed to deliver the background score and songs on time. He said that the producers have more complaints than love for him.[29] Later at the event, producer Ravi Shankar denied the rift and mentioned that there are no issues, and that they are like a family.[30] There were also reports that Thaman S, B. Ajaneesh Loknath and Sam C. S. were hired to compose the background score due to delays in delivering the score on time by Prasad.[31][32] This controversy also came into light when Mythri Movie Makers, who are also the producers of the upcoming Good Bad Ugly (2025), replaced Prasad with G. V. Prakash Kumar.[33] However, during the Hyderabad event Prasad ended the ongoing controversy with producers and thanked them wholeheartedly and highlighted the special bond between them.[34] Later, Sam C. S. confirmed his involvement in the film's background score.[35]
