Anirudh Ravichander out, Sai Abhyankkar onboards Bunny’s next

Allu Arjun and director Atlee’s film was officially announced on Tuesday on the occasion of Allu Arjun’s birthday. Sun Pictures is producing this high-profile film. Everyone thought that Anirudh Ravichander would be the music director, as his name had been circulating on social media for the past few months.
But to everyone’s surprise, the makers didn’t announce Anirudh Ravichander. Instead, they have chosen a new composer, Sai Abhyankkar. Sai actually composed the music for the announcement video released on Tuesday. Impressed with his work, Atlee decided to bring him on board as the music director for the full film, say sources.
Sai Abhyankkar hasn’t worked on any film until now but has composed a few private tracks that became superhits online. Now, everyone is wondering about this young boy composing music for a high-budget film like the Allu Arjun–Atlee combo. It seems Sai is just 20 years old, and both his parents, Tipu and Harini, are singers. They have sung many popular songs in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi.
