Official: Anirudh to compose music for Rajinikanth’s next!

Last week, Sun Pictures made a surprise announcement about their new movie with superstar Rajinikanth. One of Kollywood’s most talented filmmakers, Karthik Subbaraj is helming this high profile project. Latest development in the camp is that the young sensation Anirudh Ravichander has been signed as the composer. The official announcement came today via Sun Pictures’ official Twitter handle.

Signing Anirudh has come as a pleasant surprise as most expected Santhosh Narayanan to compose for this movie. Given Santhosh’s rapport with director Karthik Subbaraj and Rajinikanth, it was almost certain that they would get him on board. Karthik’s all three films – Pizza, Jigarthanda, Iraiva – as well as Rajinikanth’s Kabali and Kaala had music by Santhosh. So, Anirudh being roped in for this new movie is actually a refreshing change.

Anirudh has carved a niche for himself in the industry despite being around for just 6 years. In such a short career, he has scaled great heights. The youngster has already composed for big stars like Vijay, Ajith, Suriya, Pawan Kalayan and Jr NTR. A Rajinikanth project is the fruit of his talent and years of hardwork.

Shoot for this yet-to-be titled movie will be commencing by May and the makers have plans to wrap it up by the end of this year. More details regarding the other cast and crew will be announced in the coming days. Stay tuned for more updates!
