Speaking at an event to launch his new single, Pavazha Malli, Sai Abhyankkar revealed how director Atlee offered him the film after hearing just one song. The composer said, “Allu Arjun sir’s AA22xA6 music composition work is currently going on. However, I want to speak about Atlee Anna right now. When he first met me, I hadn’t even signed a single film.”
“I just played one song for him, and the very next second, Atlee Anna asked me, ‘Can you do my next film?’ I was shocked to hear that from him. The confidence Atlee Anna gave me has boosted my career, and I am ever grateful to him,” the musician added.
Earlier, director Atlee and Sai were also spotted having a music composition session during Christmas last year. Apart from the Allu Arjun starrer, the musician also has films like Karuppu, D55, and more in his lineup.
