Anirudh Ravichander Concerts Setlist

Anirudh Ravichander, simply known as Anirudh, is a composer and singer from Chennai, India. Anirudh is considered to be one of the most important composers from Tamil cinema and also one of India's top-paid composers. An interesting fact is that Anirudh earned around ₹10 crore (around $1.1 million) for "Jawan." Anirudh also collaborated with the DJ and producer Diplo on a remix of "Cold Water," which also features Justin Bieber & MØ.

Anirudh is the son of Ravi Raghavendra, an actor, and Lakshmi Ravichander, a dancer. Anirudh's grandfather was the filmmaker K. Subramanyam. After graduating from college in India, he went to London to learn piano at Trinity College.

Anirudh Ravichander debuted as a music composer in "3," directed by his cousin Aishwarya Rajinikanth and starring Dhanush. The song "Why This Kolaveri Di!" from the film went viral for its quirky Tanglish lyrics, becoming a major internet hit. A fun fact is that Anirudh composed the tune in less than 10 minutes.

Quickly after that, Anirudh worked on "Ethir Neechal," introducing rappers Yo Yo Honey Singh and Hiphop Tamizha, and "Vanakkam Chennai," featuring Vishal Dadlani. He also worked on "Naanum Rowdy Dhaan," "Vedalam," and "Thangamagan," releasing singles like "Avalukena."

In 2018, Anirudh debuted in Telugu with "Agnyaathavaasi" and composed for "Vikram," "Don," and "Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal."
