Which
are the hit films under your music direction?
My hit movies include Kadal mannan, Pooveli, Rojavanam,
Amarkalam, Paandavar Boomi, Autograph, Vasool Raja MBBS,
Attagasam, Aiya etc.
Which
song gives you happiness and a sense of pride?
One can hear songs like Gnyabagam Varude, Ovvoru pookkalume
everywhere. Moreover, this song has been inducted in
the syllabus of prestigious Madurai University. So,
these songs give me happiness and a sense of pride.
How
does the desire of releasing music albums come to you?
Quite some time before, I happened to meet Ilayaraja.
He had invited me to attend the release of his latest
album Thiruvasagam symphony. I was happy about his invitation
and I got inspired to release music albums.
What
would be the basis of your albums?
If selected hit songs are analyzed, the efforts of music
directors and their contribution are obvious. Well,
in an album I would take my own concept full of Indian
theme and would rely on Tamil culture.
Among
melodies and beat songs, which will last forever?
Beat songs will survive until the movie runs in the
theatres, whereas, a melody will survive beyond the
picture's lease of time in theatres. Melody will last
longer for sure. However, there are people who like
beat songs, because it suddenly impresses the audience.
Because
of the Computer aided Music, is there a set-back for
music artistes?
That happened in US quite some time before. Music artistes
were to run hither and thither in search of opportunities,
because the technology overtakes. Now the case is reversed.
Now the computer based music is reduced, and the demand
for music artistes has grown there again. You may foresee
such a kind of things even here.
In
some of your songs, there is some extravagant sex appeal?
Is there a way to avoid that kind of things?
Well, we are careful to avoid extravagant sex appeal,
but then it is done on the need basis pertaining to
the story, situation etc. What I request is to take
good songs and ignore if the songs look bad.
Does
your music charms Political leaders?
In Murasoli newspaper Kalaignar had written a poem dedicated
for the deceased children in the heart rending fire
accident of Kumbakonam. I tuned music for the lyrics.
Kalaignar was highly impressed with that and appreciated
me through one of his letter in the same paper. Similarly,
I tuned music for a song for Police voice club. I couldn’t
forget the appreciation that I got from Chief Minister
Dr. JJ who attended the function.
