Tamil
filmmaker
Mysskin,
who
has
not
included
any
song
in
his
upcoming
thriller
Onayum
Aatukuttiyum,
says
films
can
be
made
without
songs.
He
claims
that
it
is
a
myth
that
we
can't
make
films
without
songs.
Audiences
have
changed
with
time
and
are
looking
forward
to
be
surprised
with
cinema.
The
director
thinks,
we
can
still
make
films
with
no
songs,
provided
we
have
content
that
could
keep
them
engaged
for
nearly
two
hours.
Mysskin
has
written,
directed
and
produced
Onayum
Aatukuttiyum.
But
the
director
says
that
he
is
not
against
the
concept
of
songs.
Even
in
his
films,
in
the
past
have
had
songs.
According
to
him,
songs
shouldn't
be
included
just
for
entertainment.
If
it
really
serves
as
catalyst
to
drive
the
story,
then
it
could
be
included.
Meanwhile,
Mysskin
has
roped
in
maestro
Illayaraja
to
compose
the
background
score.
"Songs
were
unnecessary
for
this
film,
but
music
was
very
important.
I
personally
requested
Raja
sir
to
compose
the
background
music.
Initially,
he
wasn't
interested
but
after
I
narrated
the
script,
he
instantly
agreed
to
work," he
further
adds.
As
part
of
the
background
score,
Illayaraja
is
using
Austrian
composer
Gustav
Mahler's
Symphony
No
5.
Well,
the
underlining
part
of
the
story
is
that
Onayum
Aatukuttiyum
doesn't
even
have
a
heroine.
"It's
an
action-thriller
featuring
lot
of
new
faces.
I
didn't
find
the
need
to
have
a
heroine
and,
therefore,
didn't
bother
to
rope
in
one.
I
think
it's
very
important
to
cast
as
per
your
need.
One
unneeded
character
can
prove
unworthy
for
the
film,"
Mysskin
concludes.
Known
for
making
Tamil
films,
such
as
Anjathe
and
Yuddham
Sei,
Mysskin
is
producing
Onayum
Aatukuttiyum
under
his
home
banner
Lone
Wolf
Productions.
The
film,
which
is
nearing
completion,
is
likely
to
hit
cinemas
soon.
