Listen to the lyric first – Vairamuthu’s advice to music directors

Hotel Chola Sheraton wore a star studded look on Thursday evening (28/09/06), thanks to the glam dolls and the coolest dude of the tinsel town. It was the audio launch of Vattaram starring Arya, Napoleon, Keerath, and Athisaya in the lead directed and produced by Saran.

Apple of Saran’s eye Bharadwaj renders the music to Vattaram who made Saran’s movies top in the music charts as well. He has worked with Saran in all his movies to date and his music is Amarkkalam, Gemini, and Jay Jay was noticeably popular. Bharadwaj has brought a whopping seven new singers into the musical scene with this movie, which includes Kalyani, Janani, Rajesh, Shobha, Kavita, Satyan, and Mrilangati.

Napoleon launched the first audio CD of the movie, which was received by director Vishnuvardhan.

Vairamuthu mentors the musicians

The function that followed the audio launch saw many veterans delivering speeches wishing Vattaram a grandeur success. Noted lyricist Vairamuthu, in his speech stated that music directors these days are under huge pressure to prove their skills, which makes them end up relying predominantly on musical instruments. The substance of the song is quite often lost due to this and the blame for this can well be placed upon the excessive usage of electronic musical instruments, Vairamuthu denoted.

He also advised the music directors to pay heed to the lyrics and that the music should not outdo the lyrics. Often a single violin or a flute is sufficient to compose a beautiful song and only the tunes and lyrics will make them speak more, Vairamuthu indicated.

Up with cinema and down with politics

Napoleon in his forthright speech stated that he has experienced a bad phase in his political career. He was referring to his losing in the assembly elections from the Mylapore constituency. He also nostalgically recounted that only his association in cinema and his pals in the industry have helped him to emerge from his emotional turmoil.

He also stated that none of his political friends rendered him a shoulder during his difficult times in his political career and he expressed that he is grateful to his friends in the cinema circles who helped him a great deal.

Arya’s apology

Arya in his speech publicly apologized for having misgivings about the movie and the date confusion. If you might well remember, Arya was committed to Naan Kadavul and was expecting Bala to take off with the shoots. He was even reluctant to do his part in Vattaram and after a great deal of persuasion from the director, he continued with the shoots. However, in due course Arya felt himself drawn to the movie and extended his full co-operation to the crew.

Arya stated that he had fears about Saran’s treatment towards him but it turned out that Saran was nice to him during the entire shoots of the movie and never grumbled even at a single instance.

Vattaram
I was wary that he would chew my head off when I had to go for numerous retakes, Arya stated.
Closure

Bharathwaj opined that Tamil movies need not have westernized music and that the music directors should focus on the Indian element while rendering music to Tamil movies. The launch was also attended by ace director Vishnuvardhan, director Hari, Nag Ravi, CEO of ASE, Vinu Chakravarthi, and Chinni Jayanth to name a few.
