Young music composer Sai Abhyankkar has landed himself in a online controversy with a section of social media users questioning a part of the background score of Suriya 's blockbuster film ' Karuppu .' The composer, who has enjoyed a dream run with several high-profile projects, decided to address the issue himself instead of letting the speculation continue. Now, his reaction has become a hot topic of discussion among fans and movie lovers.

Sai Abhayankkar clarifies viral allegation over 'Karuppu' chant sequenceThe controversy began after a video of a priest chanting a sacred mantra started circulating online. Some users claimed that the same recording had been copied and used in the introduction sequence of Suriya's character in 'Karuppu.' As the posts gained attention, Sai Abhyankkar took to his Instagram story feed to clear the air. He explained that the chant heard in the film was not lifted from any online video. Instead, he let on that the whole segment was recorded specifically in his own studio for the movie. His clarification soon went viral on social media, quashing the rumours about the background score.

Composer reveals how the devotional recording was createdThe chanting was performed by Ananth Narayanan , a priest from Kashi, who was brought in specifically for the recording, said Sai Abhyankkar. “The Sanskrit mantras should be authentic and pronounced right,” said the composer. The team arranged a new recording session under professional studio conditions instead of using an existing clip. His explanation was appreciated by many fans, who praised the attempt to keep the film’s soundtrack musically sound and culturally accurate.

Busy lineup keeps Sai Abhyankkar in the spotlightSai Abhyankkar remains one of the busiest young composers in Tamil cinema apart from the latest clarification. Following the success of songs from ‘Karuppu’, he has been roped in for a number of big projects like Dhanush’s ‘OM’, ‘ Tamil Murugan ’, Allu Arjun’s ‘Raakka’, Suriya’s 48th film and a project by Pradeep Ranganathan. He’s also preparing to release a new independent single next month.
