Anirudh Ravichander’s journey in the film industry since his impactful debut in 2012 with the film “Three” has been nothing short of extraordinary. The infectious success of ‘Why This Kolaveri Di’ catapulted him into the limelight, and his subsequent works in films like Vellaiilla Pattadhari, Maari, and Master have established him as the foremost music composer in Kollywood. Anirudh’s ability to deliver chart-topping, diverse musical compositions has made him the go-to choice for filmmakers, with recent blockbusters such as Doctor, Vikram, and Thiruchitrambalam further solidifying his reputation as a musical maestro in the industry.
Anirudh’s entry into Tollywood with “Agnyaathavaasi,” featuring Pawan Kalyan, faced mixed reviews as the music received criticism for not meeting his usual standards in Tamil films. Although the album performed reasonably well, the film itself didn’t fare as expected at the box office. However, Anirudh bounced back with positive acclaim for his subsequent Tollywood projects, namely “Gang Leader” and “Jersey.” Despite a busy schedule in Kollywood, he has committed to significant projects in Tollywood, with “Devara” being one of them. His versatility in adapting to different film industries continues to showcase his prowess as a versatile and in-demand music composer.
The upcoming Telugu film “Devara,” starring Jr NTR and Jahnvi Kapoor with Saif Ali Khan in the antagonist role, directed by Koratala Siva, has garnered attention for being shot in two parts, with the first part scheduled for release on April 5, 2024. Anirudh Ravichander, despite recent criticism for his work in films like “Jailer,” “Jawaan,” and “Leo,” particularly regarding the songs, has maintained his reputation for delivering captivating background scores that engage audiences throughout the film. The anticipation is high for “Devara,” and while questions linger about the music album’s potential, there’s confidence in Anirudh’s ability to create a captivating musical experience, especially with his proven track record in background scoring. Fans eagerly await to see if Anirudh’s magic will weave through “Devara” and contribute to its overall cinematic appeal.
