Sai Abhyankkar opens up on landing six big projects before his composer debut
Popular indie singer-composer Sai Abhyankkar seems to be the talk of the tinsel town. The 'Katchi Sera' sensation, whose debut project as a film composer is yet to be released, has already signed six upcoming big-star films, an unusual feat that has become a topic of discussion on social media. Now, in an interview, Sai has opened up on the signing spree, crediting positive talks among industry insiders for this. 'See, most of the names I am currently working with are all huge. So, if the audiences are thinking so much about this, imagine how much the directors and producers would have. Almost everybody in the industry know each other. So it's all about networking,' said Sai, in an interview with film critic Sudhir Srinivasan. 'I have a hunger to create good music, present something new to the audiences, and be among them. I want to work a lot, make some good movies, present my soundscape, and see how they receive it. The whole point is about what difference we are creating, isn't it?' the composer said, before crediting the producer of his debut film, the Raghava Lawrence-starrer Benz, for paving the way for this incredible line-up. 'I should thank Sudhan sir (Sudhan Sundaram of Passion Studios); he's the one who signed me solely based on one popular track ('Katchi Sera'). That's how it started. So they listened to my songs and they spoke about it with others in the industry. That word-of-mouth played a part, but I also believe that this is God's plan. Moreover, many films that I had signed much earlier are being announced only now,' added Sai. Sai's dream line-up includes Benz, a Raghava Lawrence-starrer that is part of the LCU; actor Suriya's Karuppu, directed by RJ Balaji; Silambarasan TR's STR 49with Ramkumar Balakrishnan; Karthi's Marshal, directed by Tamizh; Pradeep Ranganathan's Dude, co-starring Mamitha Baiju; Shane Nigam's Balti, directed by Unni Sivalingam; and the biggest of them all, Allu Arjun's much-anticipated magnum opus with Atlee, tentatively called AA22xA6.
