Composer Denies Rift Over Viral Unplugged Video

Composer Santhosh Narayanan recently addressed online speculation regarding a humorous video featuring Mannar Muthu. The interaction, intended to playfully discuss an unplugged rendition of their track 'Mannaru,' led to a controversy where some social media users perceived it as a slight against composer Sai Abhyankkar.

Narayanan clarified on social media that his video was a "humorous self-dig" and not an attack on any other artist. He explicitly stated his support for Sai Abhyankkar's music, emphasizing that any criticism would be direct.

Fellow composer Sean Roldan further supported Narayanan's explanation. Roldan, who has known Narayanan for years, described the video as friendly banter with no intention to target another artist. He urged the public to interpret the situation lightly, noting that artistic differences do not equate to animosity.

The episode has inadvertently amplified attention on the song 'Mannaru.' Narayanan's initial playful approach to celebrating the song's positive reception has now been clarified, putting an end to rumors of a feud and redirecting focus back to the music.
