Abbas Rahbi, an assistant to A R Rahman is the most recent who turned composer from the maestro’s training with ‘Sa Boo Three’. Following him Rahman’s long-term assistant Taj Noor is turning composer now.

Taj who was under Rahman for more than 15 years is composing for debut director Vyas’s ‘Vidiyum Varai Kaathiru’. The specialty of this film is that it has no heroes.

Sources further add that Prakash Raj will be acting in an important role.
