Having earned popularity with his hit numbers such as Club Le Mubbu Le, Aadhi of the Hip-Hop Tamizha duo has come a long way.
From being an independent artist to a well-known composer in Kollywood, he’s making heads turn with his music and it’s not going to stop there. The Thani Oruvan composer is all set to make his acting debut in a lead role in upcoming film, Meesaya Murukku. Interestingly, the film also marks his directorial debut and the project has been bankrolled by actor-filmmaker Sundar C.
“I have donned multiple hats for my debut film — as a screenplay writer, dialogue writer, lyricist and a composer. Meesaya Murukku is a college love story which has all the elements of a commercial film. We have completed 45 days of shooting and a couple of songs are pending. Vivekh sir is doing an important role,” he said in an interview to Janani K of the Deccan Chronicle.
When asked if he’d like to continue helming films, he said, “I never thought about entering the film industry. After I became an independent artist, I was directing music videos. On seeing Takkaru Takkaru’s (a video about Jallikattu) response, Sundar C insisted that I become an actor. But, I pitched the story of Meesaya Murukku to him and he gave his nod within five minutes of narration.”
