Sai Abhyankkar emotional over missing chance to work with Vijay

Music composer Sai Abhyankkar has said he deeply regrets missing the chance to work with actor-politician Vijay, calling it a major loss in his career. Speaking at an India Today Tamil Nadu roundtable in Chennai, he said working with Vijay was an "absolute dream" and that he would have created a 16-track album for the project. He became emotional while discussing the missed opportunity, saying it is not possible anymore because Vijay has retired from cinema to focus on politics.

Times Now reports that Sai considers the unfulfilled collaboration "a major chunk I will be missing in my life." Cinema Express adds that the composer also spoke of his ambition to work with filmmaker Christopher Nolan, after fans created an AI video of Nolan praising his music.

Sai has several upcoming projects, including Allu Arjun and Atlee Kumar's "Raaka," Dhanush's 55th film directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, and "Thamizh Murugan" with Dhanush and Vetrimaaran. Vijay's final film "Jana Nayagan," directed by H Vinoth and scored by Anirudh Ravichander, released in July after censor-related delays.
