Successful
combo
Gautham
Menon
and
Harris
Jayaraj,
who
parted
ways
due
to
some
differences
a
few
years
ago,
seem
to
have
buried
the
hatchet.
Well,
the
musician
is
likely
to
replace
AR
Rahman,
who
has
reportedly
walked
out
of
Neethaane
En
Ponvasantham
(NEP)
due
to
his
busy
schedule,
in
the
multilingual
movie.
Rumour
mills
have
it
that
AR
Rahman's
prior
commitments
to
his
other
Hindi
projects
have
made
him
to
opt
out
of
NEP.
This
has
lead
Gautham
Menon
to
find
a
good
replacement
for
the
Oscar
Award
winner
and
he
is
keen
to
rope
in
his
trusted
music
director
Harris
Jayaraj.
But
it
is
not
sure
whether
they
have
sealed
the
deal.
Gautham
Menon
and
Harris
Jayaraj,
who
had
delivered
some
superhit
musical
pieces
like
Minnale,
Kaakha
Kaakha,
Vaaranam
Aayiram,
etc.,
separated
in
a
dignified
manner
in
2008.
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.
