‘I would have given 16-track album’: Sai Abhyankkar opens up on missing Vijay Collaboration and Christopher Nolan dreamSai Abhyankkar has quickly become one of the young names to watch in Tamil cinema music. After making a strong impact with his independent work and film songs, the composer is now working on several big projects. However, despite the growing list of collaborations ahead, there is one opportunity he feels he will miss deeply which is the chance to create music for Vijay.

Sai Abhyankkar’s dream collab with Vijay

Speaking at the India Today Tamil Nadu Roundtable in Chennai, Sai Abyankkar opened up about his admiration for Vijay and the possibility of never getting to work with the actor. Since Vijay has moved towards a full-time political career after completing his final film, Sai said the opportunity now appears unlikely. “Don’t make me emotional. That’s a major chunk I will be missing in my life. It’s not possible anymore, so I don’t know what to do. It was an absolute dream, without any doubt. I would have given a 16-track album,” he said. The composer’s emotional response reflected just how strongly he had imagined collaborating with the actor.

Sai Abhyankkar also spoke about the massive transformation in Vijay’s public image. According to the young composer, Vijay has moved beyond being a star followed mainly by cinema audiences and has now reached a much wider section of the public. “He was a hero for cinema fans, but now he is a hero for everyone unanimously. That is an even bigger stage to be in,” Sai Abhyankkar said. His comments highlight the scale of Vijay’s transition as he focuses on his political journey. For Sai Abhyankkar, creating an album for an actor who commands such a huge following would have been a major creative opportunity. His mention of a 16-track album also showed the ambition he had for such a collaboration.

They did some AI video of Christopher Nolan talking about my music. I hope one day that happens for real,” he said. With several ambitious projects in hand, the composer may have missed one dream collaboration, but his musical journey is only gathering speed.
