Sai Abhyankkar has become one of the most talked-about young talents in South Indian cinema after delivering back-to-back successful songs. However, many have been wondering why he has not signed any Telugu projects despite the growing demand.
We at Gulte have come to know that there is an interesting reason behind it. Going into details, Allu Arjun and Atlee’s Raaka is said to mark Sai Abhyankkar’s Telugu debut as a music director. Sai has signed an agreement with the makers that he will refrain from signing another Telugu film until Raaka’s release.
Such clauses are not completely new in the film industry, as such restrictions are more commonly discussed in the case of heroines and, occasionally, lead actors. Seeing a music director being tied to such a condition is relatively unusual.
Sai Abhyankkar has already created strong buzz with his music and is being closely watched by filmmakers across industries. His association with Allu Arjun’s Raaka has further increased expectations around his Telugu entry.
For now, Raaka appears to be his major Telugu introduction, with the film expected to bring him directly before a massive audience. Let’s see what kind of films this young lad will sign in the days to come. An official confirmation is yet to be made in this regard.
