One week after 'Rajathandhiram' release he called me and asked whether I am interested in doing film music He felt my independent musician background will suit the requirements of the film. I was not sure whether I had the knack to cater to the needs of film music which has to reach a wide spectrum of audience. But I thought I can try it with a film like this.

While initially I was not confident. with the reception for songs, I got the confidence to do the rerecording. Prasath had narrated the full script with every single dialogue to me. While working on the songs itself, I started doing the themes for each important character. Since I knew the characters and situations well it was very helpful for me. After I got the visuals they just got enhanced. That's why we added an instrumental in the music album itself.

In terms of style and approach, we have balanced Tamil folk music with world music elements. We followed the same approach for Background score. Base will be rural sounds but added many world music elements. We have retained the balance keeping the accessibility factor of audience. We have neither experimented too much nor opted for cliched "
