Lyrics We wrote lyrics when we made the tunes. These days all the lyricists are busy. Selva was with us when we were making music and Dhanush used to visit us quite often. And they casually chipped in and gave out the verses very casually. We had done Aayirathil Oruvan in a serious vein and Mayakkam Enna music would be a festival for youth.

Future projects

Muppozhudum Un Karpanigal and Saguni. Then Vetri Maaran, Bharathi Raja sir and Bala sir’s projects. Director Vijay’s film and Vikram’s film and Maareechan. I am constantly working to give various genres to audience and in the process I am also evolving.

There is always a positive vibe surrounding Bharathi Raja

Bharathi Raja I have met him twice. For the first time, I met him in Producer’s Council where I was singing a song and he told me that he would definitely work with me. Later I got a call from his office and when I met him, he narrated the story which impressed me a lot. It was like a beautiful novel. Bharathi Raja sir is always like an energetic youth of today. There is always a positive vibe surrounding him.

How is it to work with someone who is much older than you?

Bharathi Raja sir is very friendly and he always gives us the space be it in the music department or personally. That is his specialty and I am very excited working with him.

What about your Hindi and Telugu projects?

I am doing Joker which is produced by Farah Khan and directed by my friend Shirish Kunder with Akshay Kumar as hero in which I have completed four songs. I am doing 2 films for Anurag Kashyap- background score in Gangs of Wasseypur and full songs and background score in Ugly.

In Telugu I am doing Endukante Premanta with Ram as the lead. I may also do a Telugu film with Vetri Maaran and Mahesh Babu.

When is your marriage?

We will get married at the end of next year as she is busy with her classical singing and I in my film career.

How did you meet your fiancée?

We are school mates and have been in love for more than nine years.

Who proposed?

It cannot be called a proposal. A situation was created, that’s about it. She is my best friend and is very supportive. We have no expectations from each other.

What was your parent’s reaction?

They are ok with it.
