Anirudh Has Gen Z Crowds Hooked To His Scores

The team behind the much-anticipated NTR–Trivikram project extended warm birthday wishes to music sensation Anirudh Ravichander. Sharing a greeting on social media, the team wished its “dearest sensation” and signed off as the NTR–Trivikram team.

Anirudh has established himself as one of the most sought-after music directors in Indian cinema, earning widespread recognition for his high-energy soundtracks, memorable melodies and powerful background scores. His latest film, Jailer 2, starring Rajinikanth, has once again drawn attention to his ability to deliver pulsating background scores and chart-topping music.

The birthday greeting has also sparked interest in the musical association surrounding the NTR–Trivikram project. With NTR’s screen presence and Trivikram’s storytelling generating considerable buzz, Anirudh’s involvement adds another exciting dimension to the film.

Interestingly, Anirudh was initially expected to compose the music for NTR and Trivikram’s Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava, but he was eventually replaced by Thaman. Fans are now eager to see how Anirudh’s trademark musical energy will complement NTR’s screen presence and the scale of the upcoming project.

Anirudh has steadily strengthened his foothold in Telugu cinema with songs such as “Aye Sher” and “Yesha Nagula”, which have attracted considerable attention from music lovers. His song “Fear” from Devara also received a positive response. Meanwhile, his work in dubbed films such as Jailer and Leo has helped him connect with Telugu audiences. More recently, tracks such as “Ala Bolelo” and “Bindass” from Jailer 2 have been generating buzz among listeners.

“Anirudh is surely an exciting composer for Gen Z music lovers,” says filmmaker Hemanth Madhukar, highlighting the composer's growing popularity among younger audiences
