Director Atlee is full of praise for his Raaka composer Sai Abhyankkar's recently released song 'Radhimaa'. Taking to X, the director wrote, "Absolutely love this single! I've heard it more than 100 times since it released, and every time it just gets better." He added, "So, so proud and happy for you, The way you compose, the way you deliver every song, and the way you keep surpassing yourself with every new work is truly special. Radhimaa is my hot pick now!"
The song has lyrics by Vivek, a frequent collaborator of Sai Abhyankkar on his independent tracks. Referring to his work, Atlee wrote, "Amazing lyric by my favorite lyricist Vivek."
The song has vocals by Sai Abhyankkar himself as well as Nargis and Ashma. It marks Sai's seventh independent single. Earlier, he composed tracks such as 'Valam Varavendum,' 'Katchi Sera,' 'Aasa Kooda,' 'Sithira Puthiri,' 'Vizhi Veekura,' and 'Pavazha Malli'.
With 'Radhimaa,' Sai continued the tradition of collaborating with up-and-coming actors on his independent singles. While 'Pavazha Malli' features Kayadu Lohar, the recently released track has Bhagyashri Borse dancing along with Sai. Referring to it, Atlee added, "Bhagyashri Borse looks fab!" The filmmaker also expressed his eagerness for the composer's next independent single.
"I'm a big fan of Sai Abhyankkar. Really looking forward to your next one soon, da. Keep flying higher. Love you, Sai. So proud of you and genuinely happy for you," Atlee further said. The filmmaker also appreciated the works of the song's cinematographer, choreographer, and music video director. "Congratulations to them on a stunningly crafted video," referring to the trio.
