I would assume the other album was Gang Master. Just based on the songs, I
assume it was a remake of a Hindi movie called "Sir" by Mahesh Bhatt. That had
very enjoyable songs.
The problem with Super Police is that I understand the lyrics, so it is a
little embrassing. However, there was this phase in Telugu cinema when almost
all the songs were like that. Still, one of the biggest credits was that Rahman
created Babu Love Chaiyyara, which came into Rangeela. And I did have the title
song in one of my Best of Rahman mixes long back!
Babu Love Chaiyyara is however, the only song repeated in Rangeela. I'm not
sure what Souvik meant when he said most of the songs from Super Police are in
Rangeela.

Exactly, I was not aware of that but that's what i was guessing.
newcomers have to undergo a lot of things before they could settle down.
Even Mani has given ARR just a pittance money for Roja, ARR was
earning much more than that for doing ads even before that.
So, while appraising initial work of a person, not just ARR but any
artist, we should give some discount that people have dictated terms
to him.
And it has its negative side for these arm twisters also. Super Police
and other such arm twisted albums didn't do great because ARR was not
having enough freedom to create great music then. Apart from low
remuneration, Mani gave ARR freedom to create whatever music he
wanted, so ARR came up with great music and Mani also benefitted by that.
