Anirudh Ravichander’s latest independent single, 'Aravindh', has ignited a wave of criticism on social media following its recent release under Albuquerque Records. The project, featuring choreography by Jani Master, marks a significant moment for Anirudh’s label as its first major independent launch, but the spotlight has shifted from the music to the team behind it.
Anirudh, known for his chart-topping film scores and a strong run in both Tamil and Telugu cinema, ventured into the independent music scene with 'Aravindh'. The single was eagerly anticipated by fans, but the reaction online quickly turned critical, with much of the discussion centering on the inclusion of Jani Master. Jani, a prominent choreographer, is currently facing serious legal allegations under the POCSO Act and is out on conditional bail, which has intensified scrutiny.
Fans and social media users have questioned Anirudh's decision to collaborate with Jani Master given the pending legal proceedings. Many have voiced concerns about the industry’s responsibility in addressing such issues, with some calling for "greater accountability within the film industry", as per discussions observed online. Despite the growing debate, neither Anirudh nor Jani Master has commented publicly regarding the backlash.
With the controversy still unfolding, all eyes are on Anirudh and Albuquerque Records to see if they will address fans’ concerns and how this incident might shape their future collaborations.
