At the audio launch event for Jayam Ravi and Nithya Menen’s upcoming film
Kadhalikka Neramillai, AR Rahman took to the center stage and made a rare comment about fellow composer Anirudh Ravichander, who has been a significant contributor to the music industry of the South.
Being the senior, AR Rahman appreciated the kind of work that Anirudh has done over the years, not to forget the big projects of A-listed actors on which he has worked.
However, the former reminded Ani that he should also try to include more Raga-based classical music versions in his compositions so it stays relevant even for many generations to come.

AR Rahman said, “Anirudh is doing very good music. My small request to you is to have a classical version of the song so that the longevity is much more. Because when you do, it will reach the younger generation.”
