Venkat Prabhu is currently gearing up for the release of his next film ‘Party’, post which he will soon start shooting for ‘Maanadu’, which has STR playing the lead. In an exclusive interview with Behindwoods, he shared some interesting details about Yuvan Shankar Raja who has recently completed 22 years in the field, and also about the much awaited Mankatha 2.
Speaking about Yuvan, Venkat Prabhu said “Yuvan was always playful. I’ve known him ever since he was born, and he hasn’t changed at all. He is still the same playful guy, but his music has reached great heights. Growing up, he used to listen to a lot of Hip-Hop music. That has influenced a lot in his music. I feel his Hip-Hop style music is more authentic.”
When asked about Mankatha 2, Venkat Prabhu said “Mankatha happened only because of Thala. As I’ve said earlier, Mankatha 2 will happen if Thala gives the nod.” When asked if the popular Mankatha BGM will be retained in Mankatha 2, VP replied “Mankatha BGM was really special to us. Even in Billa2, Yuvan had used the background score of Billa and added some extra flavours to it. If Mankatha 2 happens, the BGM will definitely be retained, with some extra flavours of Yuvan.”
On the work front, Yuvan had a handful of recent releases in the form of ‘Peranbu’, ‘Kanne Kalaimaane’ and ‘Maari 2’. He is also the music director for films such as Suriya’s ‘NGK’ and Vijay Sethupathi’s ‘Super Deluxe’. He will also be re-uniting with Ajith for the official remake of the Bollywood film ‘Pink’.
