MUSIC DIRECTOR JAMES VASANTHAN INTERVIEW

It is easy with youngsters because they are always fresh and malleable. If they are new-comers, I too am, as a director. It was thoroughly an enjoyable experience. None of us ever felt any pressure under any circumstance. Since I had this movie so vividly in my head, it wasn't so difficult to bring it into visuals.

Actually, there is not much of new-age music in this particular film. I had always thought of doing pop & pop-rock music in my first musical, which is classic. And certainly my reference points were the genre of music I grew up with - Deep Purple, America, Status Quo etc.,

I never felt any pressure at any point. The only challenge was the time since I juggled between - writing script, lyrics, music and direction..! 

It's just that I cannot walk the beaten track and I want to try out something new... in whatever I do. I look for people who have freshness in approach and who give me space to create something new.

A reboot for different genre of music, maybe... but Subramaniapuram and this will have no connection, in any way... more especially the music... If people walked into this cinema with 'Kangal Irandaal' in mind, they are in for a shock... 

Oh certainly... you can see some fresh young talents with no cinema in them... they are natural and they will be natural on screen, too. But, this bunch is more aspiring musicians than actors... but now that they have got a new platform, they are ready for both.

VV is a light-hearted musical entertainer. It is a campus musical with incidents everyone can identify themselves with. It is a simple narration of the college phase of life from the musically inclined youngsters' point of view. 

Do not come with any. If you can enjoy unadulterated cool music, you will be in for a treat.
