Anbenum Peruveli (The grand expanse called love) is a musical project that artistically interprets and reimagines the poetry of the 19th Century Tamil saint Ramalinga Adigal, popularly known as Vallalar by singer Sanjay Subrahmanyan in collaboration with the music composer Sean Roldan.

Sanjay Subrahmanyan’s rigorous attempt has been in shifting his orientation towards adapting newer modes of musical production, in this process his work with Sean Roldan has been to deep dive into envisaging a digital experience. This challenge has pushed his artistic endurability, equipped with the faculties of perseverance.

Rafiq Ismail, the filmmaker of the Anbenum Peruveli documentary film, has captured the coming together of this music album. Rafiq has also brought alive the essence of Vallalar by collating the interviews of writers, researchers and scholars working within the Tamil socio-political terrain. This film unfolds as a profound layer to Anbenum Peruveli’s endeavour. Karthik Muthukumar is the cinematographer for the Anbenum Peruveli documentary.
