Anirudh Doesn't Like Telugu Cinema !?!
Chuttamalle's song has been compared to Manike Mage Hithe, according to some social media users who claim Anirudh stole the song's melody. Remarks such as "Anirudh pilfered this melody" have been making the rounds, undermining the reputation of the young composer. These charges have been disheartening given Anirudh's stellar reputation and expanding fan following among younger viewers. How could Anirudh or anybody else on the crew miss the fact that it sounds so much like Yohani's song, even if it happened accidentally?
But both detractors and admirers of Anirudh have expressed doubts in light of the dispute surrounding his originality. Anirudh finally had the chance to write music for a big pan-Indian movie that wasn't in Tamil, but the song he produced was quite similar to Yohani's viral hit.
