The acclaimed director clarified that Rahman's commitments to another project made it challenging for him to work on Indian 2.
Shankar further elaborated on his preference for collaborating with other talented composers, stating, "I like to collaborate with Yuvan, Harris, Sana. I liked the songs of Anirudh much so we chose him." He expressed his admiration for Anirudh's music, which ultimately led to the decision to bring him on board for the highly anticipated sequel.
The collaboration between Shankar and Anirudh has generated significant excitement among fans and critics alike. Anirudh, known for his fresh and energetic compositions, has a massive following and has delivered several chart-topping hits in recent years. His involvement in Indian 2 is expected to bring a unique and contemporary flavor to the film's soundtrack.
