There was no plan earlier for an introductory
song in Sivaji. However it was later decided to
have one and when Shankar approached me for the
same I put the best of my efforts, Rahman answered
for a question. "The song has come out really
well. Shankar showed me a few rushes and there
is now one more reason for me to be a Rajini fan",
adds the Mozart. He further assured that Sivaji's
music would outperform Baba.
On talking about intro songs for the Superstar,"Rajini's
introduction songs are always a challenge. I enjoyed
doing Oruvan Oruvan Mudhalali in Muthu. That had
a bit of philosophical touch to it. Singa nadai
pottu from Padayappa was created based on folk
tunes, whereas Vettri kodi kattu from the same
movie had fast beats and trumpet just to bring
out the speed with which the protagonist grows
in his life. Working for Padayappa was definitely
a great experience. Rajinikanth is very clear
about the music that his fans expect from him
movies".
On few of the missed ones, "Mudhalvane song
from Mudhalvan was written with Rajini in mind.
For some reason Rajinikanth didn't act in the
movie. One more introductory song was composed
when Jaggubhai was announced. However, the project
was shelved later and I used the song for S.J.Surya's
Anbe Aruyire."
Sivaji's shoot schedules are nearing completion
and the movie is slated for a late April 2007
release. The audio is expected to be released
by mid March. |
