True to his word, Bose funded and built the library, completing it in just eight months at a cost of Rs. 36 lakhs. Named the ‘Oscar Library,’ this facility boasts advanced amenities and aims to inspire future generations just as Bose was inspired in his youth.

One of Bose's recent notable works includes the theme song for the highly anticipated film ‘Kalki 2898 AD.’ Director Nag Ashwin personally requested Bose to craft a song that would encapsulate the film's essence. Rising to the challenge, Bose delivered the complete song in just two hours, without the need for any modifications—a testament to his unparalleled talent and creativity.

Following his Oscar win, Chandra Bose continues to lend his lyrical expertise to a wide range of projects, from big-budget films to smaller, independent productions. His commitment to the art of songwriting remains unwavering, ensuring his presence in Tollywood's ever-evolving landscape.
