Anirudh is the ace music director in the Tamil film industry. Anirudh handles the music for almost every big project in Tamil. But, it is not only Tamil, he has composed music for a few Telugu films as well.
He composed an absolute chartbuster for Pawan Kalyan in Agnyaathavaasi, with Gaali Vaaluga, Baitikochi Time Chuste, and so on. It is a shame that his songs were let down by a poor film. He was also involved in the music for Nani’s Gang Leader, producing the soulful Hoyna and a terrific background score, “Roar of the Revengers”.
Apart from composing music, he has also lent his voice to various films. Here’s a shocking and equally amazing fact about Anirudh: He has sung nearly 175 songs for other music directors, while also working on his own music. He has sung songs in Tamil as well as Telugu. Gaali Vaaluga, Hoyna, and Baitikochi Chuste are some of his most popular works in Telugu as a singer.
If you thought this was great, here’s more, Anirudh has not charged even a single rupee for the songs he has sung for other music directors. On average, a leading singer charges about 10 lakhs per song, which means he could’ve made 1750 lakhs or 17.5 crores.
This just shows his love for music. He sings because he wants to be a part of that project, and not because it will fetch him money. This is a true sign of a rockstar and an artist.
Anirudh has a terrific lineup of films ahead, they include Thalapathy Vijay’s Beast, the multistarrer Vikram, and Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2. Anirudh will also be serving as music director for NTR30.
