It was actor dhanush who turned Anirudh towards cinema, who was playing music with bands in school and college. Anirudh got his first film opportunity during his college days.

Knowing this, the film crew released only that one song under the name of Y This Kolaveri. Apart from that they also published its video on the internet. The song Y This Kolaveri became a worldwide hit on the same day of its release. For that, manmohan Singh, who was the prime minister of the day, invited dhanush to a party.
