Music directors play a pivotal role in the success of a film, and in India, a handful of composers have consistently delivered chart-topping tracks. Among these, AR Rahman and Anirudh Ravichander stand out as two of the most sought-after names in the industry. While AR Rahman has been a dominant force for decades, Anirudh has rapidly emerged as a rising star.
Anirudh Ravichander’s meteoric rise to fame can be attributed to his ability to create music that resonates with a wide audience. His compositions have the power to elevate even average films, making him a highly coveted composer. The demand for his work has surpassed that of established musicians, with filmmakers vying for his dates.
Anirudh’s versatility has allowed him to work across different languages, including Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. His recent work on the Hindi film “Jawaan” starring Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, and Vijay Sethupathi, was a resounding success, contributing significantly to the film’s ₹1,150 crores gross. The film’s music, under Anirudh’s direction, played a crucial role in its commercial success.
Anirudh’s talent extends beyond Hindi cinema. His Telugu film “Devara” also garnered critical acclaim, with both the songs and background score impressing audiences. The composer’s ability to cater to diverse tastes has solidified his position as a leading figure in the Indian music industry.
While AR Rahman’s legacy is undeniable, Anirudh Ravichander’s rapid ascent and consistent delivery of hit tracks have made him a force to be reckoned with. His ability to connect with audiences across languages and genres has positioned him as one of the most sought-after music directors in the country.
