Anirudh Ravichander

“I've been a musician since my childhood.”

“I can never recreate the magic that 'Indian' did in the '90s.”

“'Indian' is a cult album. It is one of my most favourite Rahman sir albums.”

“I've done eight grades of piano training from Trinity College and also done my sound engineering course.”

“Every song becomes an emotional journey for me, and only then will the soul of the song remain honest.”

“I am so happy about the opportunity I got to direct music for my favourite actor, Rajinikanth.”

“I love collaborations, as every combination provides a unique opportunity to create something new.”

“You have to keep proving yourself over and over again.”

“I've never flirted with a fan.”

“The night we released 'Why This Kolaveri Di?,' I went home and played all the songs I had composed since I was in Class 6. I had a great time playing them and revisiting how much I had grown and evolved over the years as a musician.”

“I've always wanted to make music for films.”

“When 'Bayatikocchi Chooste' Teaser became such a big hit, I was so happy.”

“In the case of '3,' the makers let me be. That worked out really well.”

“I'm shy by nature, not just around girls but guys as well.”

“I am not a very good singer.”

“When I'm working, I don't think about other things. I go into a zone.”

“I was told that the 'Kolaveri' kind of success happens just once in a lifetime. So, I just cherish it.”

“The inspiration for 'Ai Dil Mere' happened at 4:30 A.M. on a Sunday.”

“In personal life, I'm quite a shy person and keep things to myself.”

“#MeToo is a welcome change, and I would encourage women to call out sexual harassment issues in their workplaces.”
