He recently shared a word of advice for Anirudh Ravichander, a budding music artist.
It took place at the audio launch event for Jayam Ravi and Nithya Menen’s upcoming film, Kadhalikka Neramillai.
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 greater. Because when you do, it will reach the younger generation.”
AR Rahman appreciates Anirudh for doing good music for big hero films but also gives a friendly advice to learn and do more classical & raga based music which has more longevity; the younger/ next generation will also learn from it. #ARRahman #Anirudh pic.twitter.com/9nn6W7ovGE
