From a musical prodigy to one among the most sought-after composers in South Indian cinema, Anirudh Ravichander has come a long way since his sensational debut in the Kollywood romantic-psychological thriller 3 (2012). The son of actor Ravi Raghavendra and the nephew of actor Rajinikanth, Anirudh started his musical journey at a very young age, learning both classical piano and Carnatic music besides performing at concerts as a part of the boyband Zinx. The viral song Why This Kolaveri Di from 3 (2012) made him an overnight sensation at the age of 21 and Anirudh has since scored the music and sung for several movies across all major South Indian film industries.
