Anirudh Ravichander (அனிருத் ரவிச்சந்தர் )[1] is an Indian film composer and singer, who works predominantly in Tamil films. The song, "Why This Kolaveri Di", that Anirudh had composed for the Tamil film 3, went viral on YouTube.[2]

Early life

Anirudh is the son of actor Ravi Raghavendra and classical dancer Lakshmi Ravichander.[3] His maternal grandfather S V Ramanan is a multifaceted personality who has excelled in making documentaries, commercials and music. Anirudh’s great grandfather was director Krishnaswami Subrahmanyam, a pioneering filmmaker of the 1930s.[4] He is nephew of Rajinikanth and Latha Rajinikanth,[5][6] Y. G. Mahendra and Sudha. Anirudh was a part of a band in school called Zinx. At the age of 10, he started composing music and landed his first break – '3' at the age of 21

He did his schooling at Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan, K.K. Nagar. He graduated from Loyola College, Chennai in 2011, which according to him was just a back up in case his music career did not take off. Anirudh learnt classical piano from Trinity College of Music, London. He also learnt Carnatic music, and was part of a Carnatic fusion band.[7]

Career

2011–2012: Debut and early success

Anirudh made his debut as a music composer in his cousin Aishwarya R. Dhanush's directorial debut 3 starring Dhanush and Shruti Haasan. While pursuing his degree at Loyola College, he had done background scores for the short films made by Aishwaryaa and his work on short films convinced her to work on her first commercial venture.[8] . In early November 2011, a leaked version of a song from the film, "Why This Kolaveri Di" circulated online and the film's team decided to subsequently release it officially on 16 November 2011 . It instantly became viral on social networking sites for its quirky "Tanglish" (portmanteau word of Tamil and foot tapping kuthu beats.[9] Soon, the song became the most searched YouTube video in India and internet phenomenon across Asia.[10][11][12][13] Within a few weeks, YouTube honoured the video with a '"Recently Most Popular" Gold Medal award and "Trending" silver medal award for receiving a large number of hits in a short time.[14][15] The song was built around a South Indian folk rhythm. Its instrumentation consists of nadaswaram, shehnai, saxophone, urumee and thavil drums, acoustic guitar, and keyboards mixed with electronic synths and scratches. The vocals utilize the singing style of Tamil folk culture. Lyrically, the song revolves around the film's main actor being dumped by his girlfriend; the song is sung by the character in a drunken state, with many of the lines nonsensical. According to composer, 3's director Aishwarya R. Dhanush wanted a light-hearted song about failed love. Ravichander quickly composed the tune in about 10 minutes.[13] [16]

The remaining songs of the album were released in December 2011 and also won very positive reviews from critics. The album featured Mohit Chauhan debuting in Tamil with "Po Nee Po", while Dhanush, Shruti Haasan and Airtel Super Singer contestant Sathya Prakash were also amongst the performers. A reviewer from Behindwoods.com noted "Anirudh Ravichander has delivered so much variety in his very first album. Such a promising debut by a composer hasn't been seen in recent Tamil cinema history", while Rediff.com's reviewer noted that "all the songs in 3 are good and come with appealing instrumental arrangements", concluding that it was "an intriguing collection."[17][18] Anirudh also received praise for his background score in the film. He consequently went on to gain recognition for the film through accolades, notably the Vijay Award for Best Find of the Year as well as nominations at the South Indian International Movie Awards and the 60th Filmfare Awards South.[19] He also worked on the Telugu and Hindi version of the film with Adnan Sami and Vishal Dadlani singing as a part of the album, though the dubbed Hindi film never released.[20] Anirudh teamed up with Dhanush soon after to produce a Kolaveri-inspired track titled "Sachin anthem" commemorating Sachin Tendulkar in association with health drink, Boost.[21][22]

2013–2015: Continued success

Next, he sang and composed a single for David – a bilingual multi-starrer directed by Bejoy Nambiar, "Kanave Kanave" in Tamil and "Yun Hi Re" in Hindi. The album also opened to very positive reviews, with a critic noting Anirudh's song was "the pick of the album".[23][24] His next album wasEthir Neechal, which won positive reviews. Behindwoods.com noted "the album does well to consolidate Anirudh's sensational debut".[25] Anirudh introduced rappers Yo Yo Honey Singh and Adhi of Hiphop Tamizha into Tamil film music. Similarly the background music of the film was praised with a reviewer noting Anirudh "certainly proved his mettle yet again with his exceptional music. "[26] Moreover, Sony Music India released the complete background score of Ethir Neechal via YouTube owing to its popularity.[27] His next soundtrack, Vanakkam Chennai released in July 2013, and reached top spot in iTunes India Top Album category within few days of its release. Prior to release Anirudh had revealed that it was his "best work til date", and the composer featured as a vocalist in six of the seven songs in the film. For the song "Oh Penne", he roped in Vishal Dadlani for the first time in Tamil music, while a promotional international version was also recorded featuring British singer Arjun. Another promotional song, "Chennai City Gangster", saw him collaborate again with Adhi of Hiphop Tamizha and British Indian rapper Hard Kaur, with the trio also featuring in a music video for the film. Anirudh also recorded songs with Assamese jazz singer Papon and with Andrea Jeremiah, while also working with lyricist Madhan Karky in the well-received folk love song "Osaka Osaka".[28] A critic from Behindwoods noted "Anirudh exploded onto the Tamil music scene with a hat-trick". His background music for the film was well received by reviewers.[29][30] In September 2013, he was signed on to compose the background score for Selvaraghavan's fantasy film Irandam Ulagam, after Harris Jayaraj had opted out. Anirudh noted his happiness at working with Selvaraghavan early in his career, despite being called up as a replacement and subsequently recorded for the film in Budapest.[31] The film opened to mixed reviews and became a box office disaster , but Anirudh's work received positive response.[32]

Anirudh's next release Velaiyilla Pattathari. The album featured veteran singer S. Janaki , Dhanush and Anirudh, and won positive reviews upon release in February 2014.[33] ,[34] while adding "in all, the album is soulful, lively and truly Anirudh".[35] The film subsequently became a blockbuster at the box office, with Anirudh's work in re-recording also receiving critical acclaim and won filmfare award for best music director; Rediff.com stated he "has created magic once again", while Behindwoods.com noted his "BGM lifts all manner of scenes".[36][37] His next film was Maan Karate starring one of his close friend Siva Karthikeyan.This album topped the iTunes chart within few days of release.This album is a perfect mix of different genre , be it a lovely brezzy un vizhigalil song or royapuram peter kuthu vibe, its truly a treat.Maan Karate's soundtrack released shortly after and also won favourable reviews from critics.[38] He collaborated for a song for the second time with Shruti Haasan, while the film's lead actor Sivakarthikeyan also performed a Dappan koothu song in the soundtrack alongside veteran folk singer Paravai Muniyamma. Anirudh also recorded a gaana song with Deva, widely considered the pioneer of the gaana genre, marking his comeback after a sabbatical.[39] The film opened to mixed reviews but became a box office success, with a critic from Rediff.com praising that "Anirudh has proved once again that he understands the pulse of the youngsters. In fact, the BGM and sound tracks in the film, make the film appear more exciting than it actually is."[40]

AR Murugadoss then signed him on to compose music for Kaththi starring Vijay, becoming Anirudh's highest profile album till date. He composed the film's theme music within four days of signing, and also went on to collaborate again on songs with Adhi of Hip Hop Tamizha and Vishal Dadlani.[41] Moreover, Anirudh recorded songs with veteran singers K. J. Yesudas and vijay for the first time in his career, while he also created a "love kuthu" song "Selfie Pulla" to be sung by the film's lead actor Vijay and Sunidhi Chauhan,which became a big hit.[42] The album received positive reviews from critics and topped the iTunes India Charts.[43][44] Durgesh Haridas of The Indian Express stated,"The OST is arguably the best for a Vijay movie in recent times and Anirudh's variety and experimentation is helping him establishing himself as one of Kollywood's top music makers.", and labelled "Selfie Pulla" as "a number that even kids will be humming." adding that the song "doesn't disappoint".[45] His work for re-recording also won acclaim, with a critic noting "Anirudh's music and BGM reaches a new level", while the film went on to become one of the highest grossers in Tamil films history and he won several accolades for his work in kaththi album.[46][47]

For the third time Anirudh collaborated with his close friend Sivakarthikeyan for the film Kaaki Sattai produced by Dhanush under his production company. The album was released on the birthday of Superstar Rajinikanth in 2014. The album received mostly positive reviews and boosted the streak of Anirudh. In early 2013, it was announced that Anirudh would make his acting debut in Vignesh Shivan's Naanum Rowdydhaan, after selecting it from twenty other scripts he had heard.[48] However production work stalled, with Anirudh noting he will give priority to a career in music composing and agreed to work on the soundtrack for the film, now featuring Vijay Sethupathi. Furthermore, he signed on to compose music for a film made by and featuring newcomers, Aakko, with initial publicity posters for the film featuring solely on Anirudh's status as the movie's composer.[49] Anirudh scored music for Maari which was another project with Dhanush. The music received positive reviews, with the song Don'u Don'u Don'u becoming exceptionally popular.[50] He also received critical acclaim for his work in the Vijay Sethupathi starrer Naanum Rowdydhaan, leading him to receive many accolades for his achievement in the film.[51] He released a single from the movie Aako on Valentine's Day in 2015 of the name "Ennakenna Yaarum Illaiye".He also scored his first Ajith Kumar film in Vedalam directed by Siva. Anirudh's music received mixed reviews, however, the song "Aaluma Doluma", which uses North Madras slang, became very popular.
