In fact, for Vijay’s Azhagiya Tamil Magan the music director had asked for a couple of days time, during the first week of November, to compose the background score but the producers felt that it would be too late for a Deepavali release and had them composed by duo Sabesh–Murali after explaining the situation to Rahman.

But Producer ‘Kalai Puli’ Dhanu’s son Kala Prabhu, not wanting to compromise on the music, patiently waited for Rahman to return and finish the one remaining song for his debut directorial venture Sakkarakatti, which happens to be Shantanu Bhakyaraj’s debut as well. Rahman, on returning from London, called Kala Prabhu and lyricist Vaali and immediately started composing music for the song. He is said to have finished the composition in a jiffy, which had Kala Prabhu jumping around the studio with joy as the movie was waiting only for this song to be canned.
