Anirudh Ravichander goes AR Rahman way, hikes fee for Telugu films after bagging Rs 150 crore budget movie?

Anirudh Ravichander is steadily climbing to nationwide recognition since he’s become highly demanded among movie industry professionals. At just 34 years old, this talented artist has previously collaborated with several well-known southern stars and even Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan for the film Jawan.

Has Anirudh Ravichander increased his fee?

Based on a recent report from Telugu Cinema, it’s been suggested that Anirudh Ravichander may have raised his rates, specifically for upcoming Telugu projects he might be involved with.

The musician with upcoming ventures lined up has been offered a substantial 120 million rupees for scoring Srikanth Odela’s movie “The Paradise,” featuring Nani as the main actor. However, there’s more to it…

Following this opportunity, it appears Anirudh is raising his rates substantially for any future Telugu movie, setting them at an impressive Rs. 15 crore. Anirudh seems to be opting for a smaller number of Tollywood productions, with the condition that they come with a higher compensation.

At present, these reports have not been verified, and the composer himself has not endorsed them officially.

The upcoming movie Coolie’s initial single, named Chikitu, has been causing quite a stir among viewers due to its lively rhythm and especially Rajinikanth’s stylish dance moves. More recently, Anirudh Ravichander shared insights about the senior actor’s response when he first listened to the tune.

He commented that following the first day of filming, he expressed appreciation for the tune, yet found it challenging to dance to it due to his traditional and weathered dancing approach.
