Nani launches Hai Re; Anirudh Ravichander croons the song

Director Venky Kudumula is turning producer for the first time with “Itlu Arjuna”, being made under his banner What Next Entertainments. The film introduces newcomer Aniesh as the lead hero, with Mahesh Uppala making his directorial debut and Anaswara Rajan playing the female lead.

The makers have now kickstarted the film’s musical promotions with the release of the first single, “Hai Re”. The song was launched by Natural Star Nani.

Composed by S. Thaman, “Hai Re” is a breezy and energetic number that blends contemporary beats with soulful melodies. The catchy tune is elevated by Anirudh Ravichander’s vibrant vocals, which bring both charm and youthful energy to the track. Additional vocals by Sanjana and a rap portion by Harsha Vardhan add further texture to the song.

Penned by Kalyan Chakravarthy, the lyrics capture the feelings of a young man silently admiring a girl from afar, making the song relatable and easy on the ears.

While Thaman’s composition and Anirudh’s singing stand out, the biggest surprise comes from debutant Aniesh. The newcomer displays impressive confidence and neat dance moves, making a strong impact on screen.
