SIMBU, ANIRUDH CROON FOR A TELUGU FILM

Almost a year ago, Anirudh teamed up with Dhanush to create Kolaveri…. And now, the music
composer and Love Anthem boy Simbu have crooned a couple of songs, albeit separately, in
Backbench Student, a Tamil-Telugu bilingual featuring their good friend Mahath.
Mahath says, “Music director Sunil Kashyap had come out with some interesting tunes for the
film’s album, and we all thought Simbu and Anirudh would be apt choices to sing two of the
tracks. When I approached them both, they readily agreed. Sunil and I flew down to Chennai
from Hyderabad, where the film is currently being shot, to record the songs. We finished
work on both the tracks in a single night, and flew back to Hyderabad to work on the final
mix.” While Anirudh has sung the title track of the film, directed by Madhura Sreedhar,
Simbu has crooned a peppy, fast-paced number.
Mahath adds, “I’m really glad Simbu and Anirudh agreed to sing for my debut flick in
Tollywood. It’s good to have such supportive friends.”
