Not Thaman, But Anirudh for Balakrishna’s Next Biggie!

Music maestro Anirudh Ravichander is steadily solidifying his presence in Tollywood. After delivering a remarkable comeback with NTR’s pan-India blockbuster Devara: Part 1, Anirudh is now gearing up for more high-profile Telugu projects. While he debuted in Tollywood with Pawan Kalyan’s Agnyaathavaasi in 2018, it took him four years to achieve success with Nani’s Jersey. His recent work on Devara has brought him closer to Telugu audiences, making him one of the most sought-after composers.

Anirudh Joins Forces with Balakrishna and Gopichand Malineni

The latest buzz reveals that Anirudh Ravichander has been roped in to compose music for Nandamuri Balakrishna’s upcoming film with director Gopichand Malineni. This dynamic duo previously delivered a blockbuster with Veera Simha Reddy and is now set to create magic again. Their second collaboration promises to be a full-fledged mass entertainer, and Anirudh’s inclusion adds significant excitement to the project.

Balakrishna’s Busy Slate

Currently, Balakrishna is shooting for the highly anticipated sequel Akhanda 2. Post this, he will team up with Gopichand Malineni for their next venture. The movie expected to go on floors soon, and sources confirm that Anirudh’s participation finalized.

Anirudh Replaces Thaman

Interestingly, Thaman, who delivered chart-topping music for Balakrishna’s Daaku Maharaaj, has replaced by Anirudh. This shift hints at a strategic change and further establishes Anirudh’s growing influence in Telugu cinema.

Anirudh’s Impact Across Industries

Anirudh’s portfolio is nothing short of stellar. He recently wowed audiences with his electrifying score for Rajinikanth’s Jailer, a film whose music played a pivotal role in its box office success. His work on the announcement video for Jailer 2, one of Kollywood’s most anticipated sequels, further cemented his reputation.

With Balakrishna – Gopichand Malineni being a mass-oriented combination, fans are eager to see how Anirudh will tailor his compositions to amplify the film’s appeal. This will also mark Anirudh’s first time composing for a senior Tollywood hero, making it a career milestone for the young music sensation.
