Vishal Chandrasekhar

Vishal Chandrasekhar, also credited as Vishal Chandrashekhar, is a music director who composes songs and background scores for Tamil and Telugu cinema. Fans know the composer best for Sita Ramam (2022), Varudu Kaavalenu (2021) and Jackpot (2019), and both Sita Ramam and Varudu Kaavalenu brought Filmfare Awards South nominations for Best Music Director in Telugu. Telugu audiences also connect the name with Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha (2016) and Padi Padi Leche Manasu (2018). In 2019 came a busy stretch of Tamil work, with Simba, Jackpot and Kaalidas, followed in 2020 by Taana, Mamakiki and Kanni Raasi. Oh Manapenne! and Varudu Kaavalenu arrived in 2021, and Sita Ramam and O2 in 2022. Chandrasekhar handled the background music for Chinna (2023), then scored Kadhale Kadhale, Birthmark, Level Cross and Thiru.Manickam in 2024. Later films include #Single and Nadu Center (2025), and Naari Naari Naduma Murari, Jagamae Sangeetham and Fauzi (2026). The work goes beyond composing. Chandrasekhar wrote lyrics for Simba (2019) and Oh Manapenne! (2021), and sang as a playback singer in Konjam Pesinaal Yenna (2024). The two Filmfare Awards South nominations, in 2021 and 2023, remain the biggest recognition of a career spent moving between Tamil and Telugu films.
