Lyricist
Madhan
Karky
has
attempted
something
new
for
Mani
Ratnam's
Kadal.
For
the
first
time
in
his
career,
he
has
written
folk
songs
for
the
upcoming
Tamil
movie.
Confirming
the
news
to
a
daily,
Madhan
Karky
has
said
that
it
was
a
special
song
simply
because
it
is
a
Mani
Ratnam
film.
Taking
about
the
director,
he
has
claimed
that
it
is
not
difficult
to
work
with
him,
as
the
maverick
filmmaker
is
clear
about
what
he
wants
from
the
writer.
The
lyricist
adds
that
he
has
written
three
folk
songs
for
the
movie.
Madhan
Karky
ends
on
the
note
that
he
love
challenges
but
he
is
not
open
for
writing
songs
that
make
fun
on
women.
However,
Oscar
Award
winner
AR
Rahman
has
composed
the
music
for
the
movie.
Meanwhile,
the
shooting
of
the
movie,
which
was
kicked
off
on
March
1,
2012,
at
Manapad,
has
been
completed.
Kadal
marks
the
debut
of
Gautham,
the
son
of
actor
Karthik,
and
Tulasi,
the
daughter
of
actress
Radha.
The
latter
was
roped
in
after
Samantha
walked
out
of
the
film
citing
date
issues.
The
forthcoming
movie
also
features
Arjun
Sarja,
Arvind
Swamy
and
Lakshmi
Manchu
in
important
roles.
