As a dedicated fan of the music industry, I must say that I am thrilled by the recent developments in the careers of these exceptional musicians. Anirudh Ravichander’s strategic move to hike his fees based on the scale of projects is a bold step that has set a new trend among his contemporaries like AR Rahman and MM Keeravani.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m constantly keeping my finger on the pulse of the entertainment industry, and I must say, some fascinating developments are unfolding! The renowned Telugu musician has allegedly boosted his fees, commanding anywhere from 10 to 12 crores per project – the exact amount depending on the scale of the film.

According to recent reports, AR Rahman is rumored to demand a fee of approximately 100 million rupees for his upcoming film with Ram Charan, tentatively known as RC16, which will be helmed by Buchi Babu Sana. Likewise, it’s stated that Devi Sri Prasad has allegedly raised his compensation to around 80 million rupees, attributed to the success of Pushpa: The Rise.

Apart from his professional achievements, Anirudh recently gained attention when he turned 34 years old on October 16, 2024. To celebrate this milestone, the producers of his upcoming movie, Love Insurance Kompany (LIK), unveiled their first song called Dheema.

In this movie, the tune that Anirudh both created and performed was penned down by its director, Vignesh Shivan. This catchy love song showcases the main characters, Pradeep Ranganathan and Krithi Shetty.
