Music
Maestro
Ilaiyaraaja
is
all
set
to
work
with
ace
filmmaker
Gautham
Menon.
Yes,
the
68-year-old
has
been
signed
to
score
the
music
for
forthcoming
Tamil
movie
Neethaane
En
Ponvasantham
(NEP).
The
music
director
has
confirmed
that
he
has
signed
Gautham
Menon's
film.
Ilaiyaraaja
claims
that
he
will
start
the
composition
works
soon.
It
is
also
noted
that
they
have
teamed
up
for
the
first
time
and
the
expectations
have
obviously
reached
sky
high
from
this
combo.
It
may
be
recalled
that
Oscar
Award
winner
AR
Rahman
was
approached
for
Neethaane
En
Ponvasantham
but
he
opted
out
of
the
film
due
to
his
busy
schedule.
Then
it
was
said
that
Harris
Jayaraj-Gautham
Menon,
who
parted
ways
after
Vaaranam
Aayiram
following
some
differences,
could
bury
the
hatchet
and
team
up
again.
NEP
stars
Jeeva
in
the
Tamil
version,
Nani
in
Telugu,
whereas
Aditya
Roy
Kapoor
in
the
Hindi
version.
Samantha
is
playing
the
female
lead
in
all
three
instalments.
