According to reports, the composer, who has contributed to popular albums in Tamil and Telugu cinema, is growing increasingly picky about the projects he accepts. According to sources, Anirudh is now concentrating solely on high-profile projects that complement his developing fan base and brand. Anirudh's team hasn't, however, formally confirmed the pay increase.

Additionally, he composed the music for "Jana Nayagan," Thalapathy Vijay's eagerly awaited farewell movie, before his political career took a turn for the worse. Expectations for this album are extremely high, given that they have worked together on hits like Kaththi, Master, Beast, and Leo.
