The tune Yuvan couldn’t compose

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,April 16 2009]

We all know Yuvan Shankar Raja as the musician who can do one of the most popular Kuthu song like “Where’s the Party Tonight”, and one of the most popular melodies like ‘Ninaithu Ninaithu’. But can you believe that there has been a tune that Yuvan was found highly incapable of composing!

This was for the film 'Saroja'. The crew did a spoof of the scene in mega serials and the director, Venkat Prabhu wanted Yuvan to compose a tune as the background score for serial scene. However hard he tried, the musician was found quite incapable of creating the routine mega serial music.

Finally, actor Premji Amaran, who played one of the boys in the film, chose to bring a real serial music director to compose the piece and so was brought in music director Prakash.

Prakash was also part of SP Charan’s music troupe, besides being Venkat’s keyboard player. And that was how the sequence introducing Mirchi Siva in the film was shot, featuring him, Nalini and Shanmuga Sundaram.

With ‘Goa’ now taking a dig at Panchayats, it remains to be seen if Yuvan will find it in him to compose music for it!
