The name goes alongside chartbusters, within no time a most sought music composer in Indian film industry. That is Anirudh Ravichander Captivating tunes with his unique style made him to be a sort of go-to music director from the young stars down in Kollywood and beyond for Vikram movies and Master placed him on Pan-Indian levels, establishing as one of the most influential composers within his generation.
Reports claim that Anirudh is preparing to compose music for two of Tollywood’s top seniors- Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna. Both of them enjoy humongous fan followings, and their upcoming films are the most waited in town. But will Anirudh be able to click it with his young energy and trendy sounds when the hero before him had set quite high benchmarks?
Anirudh’s Recent Success and the Tollywood Connection
It is important to know how Anirudh emerged as a force in the industry before getting into his possible collaboration with Tollywood’s senior stars. His career started with a bang in 2012 with the soundtrack of 3, featuring the iconic song Why This Kolaveri Di. Ever since then, Anirudh has been carrying out hits back-to-back, without regional boundaries, and going all the way to prove himself to be the toast of Indian cinema.
His recent work on Vikram (2022) and Master (2021) not only added to his reputation but also brought in immense commercial success. His ability to blend contemporary sounds with traditional elements has caught the attention of filmmakers from various industries, including Tollywood.
Anirudh for Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Upcoming Movie
One is Megastar Chiranjeevi, and for him music has always been quite a close affair-from Ilaiyaraaja to Devi Sri Prasad composing for his movies. Now that he is once again getting a movie ready, the makers might consider an Anirudh score.
Why Anirudh for Chiranjeevi?
The fresh energy Anirudh can bring into the Chiranjeevi movie is largely as the latter, too, always goes through change. And audience taste is changing, too. It was a moment when Chiranjeevi was spotted more with the presence of stars such as Devi Sri Prasad, who still sound like young energetic composers. He will give it a new age sound along with the change of audience taste.
The catchiness of the tune composed by Anirudh can make Chiranjeevi’s movie a hit. Moreover, the talent to create both mass-appealing tracks and soulful melodies will suit the versatile acting style of Chiranjeevi.
What to Expect?
If Anirudh is finalized for Chiranjeevi’s next, get ready for some earth-shattering energetic dance numbers along with high octane tracks along with soulful melodies that complement the star more on screen.
Anirudh has a relatively clear track record in terms of the commercial hit list, which will extract the best from this star and might make the difference between this film working or not.
Anirudh for Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Next movie
Another Tollywood iconic hero is said to be in the fray to rope in Anirudh for his next. With Balakrishna being associated with music directors M.M. Keeravani and Chirantan Bhatt for quite some time, getting an avant-garde composer like Anirudh will be a bold and sizzling decision.
Why Anirudh for Balakrishna?
The overall screen presence of the film is larger than life with the intense and dramatic music. Balakrishna can get the perfect blend of the emotional quotient and the high-energy quotient with Anirudh’s music in this film as well by working out tracks ranging from intense to mass-appealing.
With his musical versatility, Anirudh could give a refreshing dimension to Balakrishna’s project, making songs that would not only enhance the narrative but elevate the overall cinematic experience. Be it a traditional mass number or a heart-pounding action sequence, Anirudh’s music could set the right tone for Balakrishna’s film.
What to Expect?
From high-octane numbers that resonate with Balakrishna’s aggressive image to melodious tunes that replay the emotional scenes, Anirudh would do justice in delivering a soundtrack that is simply reminiscent of Balakrishna’s dynamic character. A perfect blend of Anirudh’s contemporary style of music with Balakrishna’s hard-hitting on-screen presence would go a long way in delivering a film that stands out in terms of music and overall impact.
Challenges in doing hero interviews with senior Tollywood stars
While the prospects of Anirudh composing for hero Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna’s films promise well, there are challenges that come with working with senior heroes. The senior heroes have an already established brand and a fan following who have been listening to music of a certain kind for long.
It clashes with some very traditional music the current stars are remembered for. Now, it will be very challenging for Anirudh to strike the balance between his present kind of music and expectations from the crowd that loves to listen to legends in this category.
Well, as a matter of fact, Anirudh is pretty good at giving something a go and trying it out. This might just be the task to continue this innovative track even more with more refreshing and also commercially viable soundtracks.

Anirudh’s association with Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna is, no doubt, an exciting prospect for Tollywood. Though challenges lie in fitting his modern style into the well-established musical taste of these senior stars, Anirudh’s record speaks for itself. With the capability to come up with mass numbers, emotional tracks, and experimental melodies, he could well do career best for these icons.
As the buzz around these collaborations goes, Tollywood fans now await the day when the music of Anirudh complements larger-than-life personas in the form of Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna. It will be a game-changer if it works out for Anirudh and the movies of these big stars.
