At the audio launch
of Uthama Puthiran, Dhanush said that music
director Vijay Anthony initially composed
two songs for the film and moved on to don
the greasepaint for another film. This was
major setback for UP, but Vijay ensured
that he completed the scores during the
nights while in the mornings he turned into
a hero. Dhanush jocularly remarked that
probably he is the only hero to haggle behind
another hero to get the songs for his film.
The actor also made an open promise on
stage that he would offer his call sheet
to the producers of UP any time they seek
but sought at least 3 months time to schedule
his prior commitment
