Rokesh is an Indian lyricist who works in Tamil cinema, specializing in song lyrics containing Madras Bashai.[1] His notable songs include "Aaluma Doluma" from Vedalam (2015), "Danga Maari Oodhari" from Anegan (2015), "Jithu Jilladi" from Theri (2016), and "Jalabulajangu" from Don (2022).
Rokesh worked as a machine operator in the Parry's area of Chennai and had established a reputation for being a gana songwriter in his local area, Vyasarpadi.[2] He was first introduced to K. V. Anand and Harris Jayaraj by D. R. K. Kiran, who worked as the art director for Anand's film Anegan (2015). Anand and Harris gave Rokesh a list of 150 words of North Madras specific vocabulary for reference and explained the situation for a song, and Rokesh returned with the final version of "Danga Maari Oodhari" during the next day.[3][4][5]
Rokesh has since gone on to collaborate with other music directors, such as G. V. Prakash Kumar, Anirudh Ravichander, and D. Imman.
