Sai Abhyankkar

Sai Abhyankkar (born 4 November 2004) is an Indian composer, playback singer and music producer who works primarily in Tamil cinema. He gained recognition with his breakout hit single "Katchi Sera", which went viral and became one of the most searched songs worldwide. The song, released as part of Think Music's independent music initiative, marked his debut as a solo artist. Abhyankkar's other singles include "Aasa Kooda", "Sithira Puthiri" and "Vizhi Veekura", all composed for Think Indie Collective. Abhyankkar made his film debut as an original music composer with the Malayalam-Tamil bilingual film Balti. He was first signed to compose music for the film Benz, which was intended to be his debut until production got delayed. He has since signed many other projects including Allu Arjun's film AA22xA6 directed by Atlee.
