The success story of Kollywood's Rockstar..!!
As music composer Anirudh celebrates his 34th birthday today, here are some interesting facts about him. music composer Anirudh was born in 1990 to actor ravi raghavendra and dancer Lakshmi. His father raghavendra has acted in a few films and tv serials including Rajinikanth's Padayappa. Do you know how Rajini and raghavendra are related? raghavendra is the brother of Rajini's wife Lata. Anirudh's grandfather sv Ramanan excelled in documentaries, commercials, and music.
Anirudh's great-grandfather was director K. Subramaniam. He emerged as a leading director in the 1930s. Anirudh's schooling started at Padma Seshadri Balabhavan School. Chosen as a people leader in school at a young age, Anirudh occasionally showed interest in playing the piano. Later, Anirudh joined a music academy where he learned to play the piano and other musical instruments. Anirudh, who was a part of the Carnatic Fusion band at school, has since joined Loyola college and played rock music with his friends. Having learned Carnatic music, Anirudh was keen to learn classical piano. For this, he passed the exam conducted by Trinity college of music in London.
It was actor dhanush who turned Anirudh towards cinema, who was playing music with bands in school and college. Anirudh got his first film opportunity during his college days. As a result, Anirudh, who had a dream of becoming a great music composer through the film, was disappointed. The first film he was supposed to score stopped halfway through. Anirudh was very upset because the first film turned out like this.Subsequently, Anirudh, who had composed 25 independent music songs and was waiting for a film opportunity, got his first opportunity from his family. aishwarya Rajinikanth, the director of the film, has also agreed to Dhanush's suggestion that Anirudh should compose the music for the 3 movie he acted in.
Anirudh has composed for the first time in Dhanush's voice a song sung by a youth who is devastated by love failure. dhanush mixed english and tamil lyrics as if Anirudh suited the tune. Anirudh completed the entire song composition in just 20 minutes. But then they didn't know that the song would become a mega hit worldwide. The first song composed by Anirudh for the film was leaked on the internet without being official. Within a few days of its release, it started going viral among the youth. Knowing this, the film crew released only that one song under the name of Y This Kolaveri. Apart from that they also published its video on the internet. The song Y This Kolaveri became a worldwide hit on the same day of its release. For that, manmohan Singh, who was the prime minister of the day, invited dhanush to a party. But on the other hand, the song also received criticism. They alleged that Dhanush's tamil murder has created a new trend as the use of tamil words in tamil songs has decreased. Despite the critical acclaim, not only Y This Kolaveri but all the songs featured in the film became hits across the board. Anirudh's wish is that the entire album should be a hit, not just one or two songs. It is possible with 3 movie and Ethir Neechal film. Later, Anirudh composed a song called Kanave Kanave for the film David which made him popular in hindi as well.
After that, Anirudh has seen tremendous growth to the point where he has given hit albums such as hello Chennai, Vella Ila Pattadhari, Kaththi, Maari, Vedalam, Petta, Darbar, Master, Beast, Leo, Jailer, Jawan and today he has scored music for the films of leading heroes in Pan india such as Kollywood, Tollywood, and Bollywood.  Anirudh not only introduced new singers but also brought back many music legends like KJ Yesudas, Deva, and Janaki and won appreciation. Impressed by his voice, other composers also made Anirudh sing in their music. Anirudh has sung in the music of many leading composers like AR Rahman, Santhosh Narayanan, Yuvan shankar Raja, Thaman, and D Imman.
If you go to the top of fame, it is usual to get involved in controversies. Eagles of such controversy circled Anirudh too. The beep song he created with Simbu, which had censored lyrics, became a headache for him. Later, Ani got involved in the Suchi Leaks. Anirudh responded to those who lashed out at him as immoral with the success of his songs. It is said that Anirudh reached this place easily because of the help of his father raghavendra, actor dhanush, and director Aishwarya. But it is questionable whether all those who come from the background of cinema have grown up to the level of Anirudh. No matter how many cinema successors come, people will recognize them only if they have talent and honesty in their profession. Anirudh is at the top today because of realizing this.
