Vanakkam Chennai (2013) especially embodies this quality with songs like ‘Osaka Osaka’ and ‘Ailasa Ailasa’ that take their time to get going.Īnirudh began to reinterpret music for ‘mass’ hero films from Kaththi. The music of this period was relatively minimalistic, made nuanced use of guitars, and was - for want for a better word - playful. Much like AR Rahman until his first ‘mass’ hero film Muthu, Anirudh started out as a low-key hit machine for Dhanush and Sivakarthikeyan, until he worked in films like Kaththi (2014) and Vedaalam (2015). A decade ago, though, he didn’t start out as the hit machine of big stars. He’s worked with Rajinikanth ( Petta, Darbar ), Vijay ( Kaththi, Master ), Ajith ( Vedalam, Vivegam ), and is set to work with Kamal Haasan in the upcoming Vikram. He is most-sought-after by the biggest Tamil stars and directors. But, Anirudh Ravichander is something of an exception. That kind of influence by any composer is not really possible anymore. Both the role of music in our films and the listening habits of the audience have evolved to allow for choice in music.
It’s unlikely that a composer today can dominate Tamil film music the way MS Viswanathan, Ilaiyaraaja, and AR Rahman did at their peak.
