At the Madharaasi audio launch event, music composer Anirudh Ravichander said that Ethirneechal was his first blockbuster success. The remark has sparked a heated debate online, with many questioning why he ignored his sensational debut with Dhanush’s 3.
Fans pointed out that Anirudh’s career began with 3, which featured the viral chartbuster Why This Kolaveri Di. They feel his statement is unfair, suggesting it reflects strained ties with Dhanush, who was crucial in giving him a breakthrough.
Some argued that Anirudh should have acknowledged 3 regardless of any personal differences. Supporters of Dhanush believe that the film’s music gave him his career start and that downplaying it amounts to disrespect. Social media is buzzing with criticism of Anirudh.
Others, however, defended Anirudh, saying he referred to Ethirneechal in terms of box office performance. While 3’s album was a massive hit, the film itself only had an average theatrical run. Even so, Dhanush fans are unhappy and continue to vent online.
The debate is spreading widely across platforms. Some fans have even requested Dhanush not to collaborate with Anirudh again. The composer’s comments are now going viral, with audiences divided on whether his words were careless or misunderstood.
