Its official!
Music for Gautham Vasudev MenonÂs forthcoming trilingual ÂNeethanae En Ponvasantham will be composed by music maestro Isaignani Ilayaraja. The film is a romantic musical set in a college campus with a different take on love.
Gautham is known for his songs and has always tasted success and delivered several memorable tracks in Tamil cinema. He has churned good hits in association with music composers Harris Jayaraj and AR Rahman.
AR Rahman was initially approached to compose the tunes for ÂNeethanae En Ponvasantham but he couldnÂt accommodate the required dates for the project and the director opted for the Isaignani.
NEP has Jiiva as the lead in the Tamil version and Samantha as the lead lady in all the three versions. Recently the director was on a hunt for a fresh face to play JiivaÂs fiancé in the film.
The team is upbeat about having their filmÂs music composer by Padma Bhushan Award winner Isaignani Ilayaraja who is known for soft romantic numbers.
