One year later, he contributed songs to sixteen different film soundtracks, in addition to composing the score for the web series Nanna Koochi. He also won "Best Male Playback Singer – Telugu" at the 2018 South Indian International Movie Awards for "Dandalayya," another track from Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.
