Thaman to don the greasepaint for Thikka

Not many know that music director S.S. Thaman had actually started off as an actor a decade ago with Shankar’s Boys. Now, after so many years of name and fame with some rocking songs, he will be appearing on screen — in a Telugu flick — through Sai Dharam Tej-starrer Thikka. Thaman says he is quite happy to act in the small role after a long time.

“I will shake a leg with Sai Dharam Tej in the song Hot Shot Hero,” he says. Interestingly, the film’s music is being composed by Thaman himself. The song of the Sunil Reddy directorial will be shot this week.
