Sai Abhyankar has been a hot topic in South India even before his official debut, because of big projects like Allu Arjun-Atlee, Suriya’s Karuppu, and Karthi’s Marshal.
While Balti was his first release as a music director, the spotlight was on Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude. The first single, Oorum Blood, faced criticism, with many calling Sai over-hyped and questioning his potential for bigger films.
However, the response changed after Dude released in theaters. Most viewers praised the music, describing the songs as “Slow Poisons”. After the film’s OTT premiere, social media exploded with edits using the BGM.
The interval score, a reworked version of Oorum Blood, became extremely popular, and fans even synced it with other movie scenes, making clips go viral.
The song trended again and crossed 100 million views on YouTube. This unexpected appreciation boosted Sai’s confidence, while audiences are now eagerly anticipating his music in upcoming big projects.
