South Indian cinema seems ready for a fresh musical wave. For years, Anirudh Ravichander has ruled the scene, but his recent works haven’t matched his earlier brilliance. Now, a new name is turning heads Sai Abhyankar.
Sai already proved his talent with Tamil hits like Katchi Sera and Aasa Kooda. He is now making his theatrical debut as a full-fledged composer with Dude, releasing on October 17. The film’s music promotions are almost complete.
At first, the album didn’t grab attention, but it has slowly gained traction. Songs that once got mixed reviews are now climbing the charts. Oorum Blood (the Telugu version Boom Boom) is trending at number one on JioSaavn, showing strong listener response.
This rise hints at something exciting Sai’s music grows on listeners with time. If Dude delivers a powerful musical experience in theatres, South Indian cinema might be witnessing its next big composer.
Sai’s sound stands apart. His orchestration feels experimental and unique, far from the crowd-pleasing tunes dominating today’s industry. The real test comes on October 17, when Dude hits theatres. We’ll soon know if a new musical rival to Anirudh has arrived.
