Upcoming Tamil film Jeeva , which has music by composer D. Imman, will be special to the Vairamuthu family. That’s because three lyricists from the family – Vairamuthu, Madhan Karky and Kabilan – have all contributed to the same film, for the first time.
“It’s a rare event,” feels Madhan, “This is perhaps the first time in the country when three lyricists from the same family have worked on a film. It feels special.”
For Madhan, one of the most promising among the younger crop of lyricists in Tamil cinema, this album will certainly be close to the heart. “Kabilan and I have grown up watching appa write for films. And today, both of us are actually working on the same project as he is.”
Kabilan Vairamuthu, who has also written a song, says, “We are often asked a question – which is the best among the songs in Jeeva ? For that, I can only say that, ‘Singam onnu than irukku. ’” The sports-based film, directed by Suseenthiran, features Vishnu Vishal in the lead.
