Career 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. 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.
