You have given many hit songs to Simbu. Some unforgettable things about working with him…
“I have done three films with Simbu too. He is a good technician. I know him from a young age. He would take my keyboard and make music. He would also be easy to work with. The song ‘Chanakiya’ had a different line. At first he heard it and said, ‘The line is not good’. Then ‘Chanakiya’ I got it. Immediately, he said that it will be a hit. Simbu is a person who has such a sense of cinema.”
You have given many hits in opening songs for heroes. How do you see that culture?
“They think that the song and the hero are very far away. But, there is a lot of connection. Commercial song is a big side for the hero. Some heroes only have melody. They will not be in the big mass commercial hero list. But, if you ask me, commercial song is very important for the hero.”
