00:00In the press meet of the film, there was a debate on whether the lyric credits were written by Jagan or not.
00:07It would be better if you could tell us what happened in that debate.
00:11There are 7 songs in this film, but they only spoke about one song.
00:15The song was written before I came on the stage.
00:18The director stole the song from me.
00:21It went in a different angle.
00:23He said, my stand has been written.
00:30The more viral the song was, the more it became a trend.
00:34There was a debate on that.
00:36The lyrics were written in A content.
00:39After you prepared the song, you would have shown it to many people.
00:44Did they give you the same kind of feedback?
00:48Actually, nothing like that came.
00:50That was what was surprising.
00:52We had to show it to so many people.
00:54Everyone would laugh and take it as fun.
00:56This song has a good vibe.
00:58It would have been different if it had come.
01:00No one did that.
01:02We had conversations like that.
01:04Everybody was posting.
01:06But after a stage, many people were like,
01:08I'm going to vibe with this song.
01:10I'm going to listen to the song in repeat mode.
01:12After that, the entire perspective shifted.
01:19There was a time where
01:21I was working on a song.
01:23He called me 2 days before the shoot.
01:25He called me 2 days before the shoot.
01:27He said, the BGM was good.
01:29He said, extend the BGM.
01:31I said, I gave him the song.
01:33He said, I gave him the song.
01:35I said, I gave him the song.
01:37He said, I'm going to dance.
01:39He said, I'm going to dance.
01:44In 2024, Prabhu Deva
01:46didn't let him dance.
01:48Madonna let him dance.
01:50He even gave him a mic.
01:52If you look at the working pattern of this film,
01:55it's not like we compose a song
01:57and shoot it for a week
01:59and then show it to the director.
02:01When we were talking,
02:03we were like,
02:05what kind of situation is this?
02:07This is the situation.
02:09This is the song.
02:11This is what we tried in this film.

03:54I just said it.
03:56The scene where you climb the ladder.
03:58You must have seen Prabhu Deva sir's movies.
04:00You must have seen Prabhu Deva sir's movies.
04:02How was it working with him?
04:04Did you meet him and talk?
04:06Did you meet him and talk?
04:08Jollyo Jim Khanna is my second project with Prabhu master.
04:10Jollyo Jim Khanna is my second project with Prabhu master.
04:12Jalsa is another project.
04:14Jalsa is another project.
04:16It's very guarded.
04:18We work and finish at the same time.
04:20We work and finish at the same time.
04:22We work and finish at the same time.
04:24He'll call in the morning.
04:26He'll call in the morning.
04:28He'll call in the morning.
04:30He'll call in the morning.
04:32He'll call in the morning.
04:34He'll live with the song for a while.
04:36He'll live with the song for a while.
04:38He'll live with the song for a while.
04:40He'll live with the song for a while.
04:42He'll live with the song for a while.
04:44He'll live with the song for a while.
04:46It's very fruitful and constructive.
04:48It's very fruitful and constructive.
04:50It's very fruitful and constructive.
04:52There was a time when...
04:54There was a time when...
04:56There was a time when...
04:58There was a time when...
05:00There was a time when...
05:02There was a time when...
05:04There was a time when...
05:06There was a time when...
05:08There was a time when...
05:10There was a time when...
05:12There was a time when...
05:15If I gave the song to the dance master,
05:17If I gave the song to the dance master,
05:19he'd say that it's his song and he'll take care of it.
05:21That was a memorable instance.
05:23That was a memorable instance.
05:25The song should be flowing...
05:27When there's a BGM,
05:29it's not just copy and paste.
05:31It's not just copy and paste.
05:33It's not just copy and paste.
05:35It's not just copy and paste.
05:37With the master,
05:39it's less of a lecture.
05:41It's less of a lecture.
05:43He doesn't ask me for a specific reason. When we go to the caravan, he'll ask me to play a tune.
05:53He's very supportive like that.
05:58Has he ever asked you to play a director in the film making process?
06:08No, he doesn't do that. He'll give me an idea. He gave me an idea for the opening song of this film.
06:18I made the song and showed it to the director. He said it was great. I told him to ask Shakthi.
06:28He'll always let the director take the call. Even if he has an opinion, he'll always ask the director.
06:38Prabhu Deva and Shakthi Chidambaram have already worked together. How was it working with them as a whole?
06:58How was the sync between the music director and the director?
07:08That's the reason I got the title. It was apt.
07:18It's not like I took the song and showed it to the director.
07:28He's basically a dialogue writer. The writing itself has humor.
07:38We tried that in the film. If you ask a policeman to marry you, it's a dialogue.
07:48If you ask a policeman to marry you, it's a dialogue.
07:58It's the first conversation between me and him.
08:08The song went viral. Did you see the reels?
08:18It's the first time I'm experiencing all of that.
08:28It was a lot of fun. We laughed a lot.
08:38It was a lot of fun. We laughed a lot.
08:48It was a lot of fun. The main reason I sing is to entertain the audience.
08:58I've come in for entertainment.
09:08There was a lot of criticism about how viral the song was.
09:18Did they give you any feedback?
09:28It was surprising. We had to show it to so many people.
09:38We had conversations like this.
09:48The actual lyric is...
09:58I'm 51 years old...
10:08We wanted to show the visuals to the audience.
10:18We wanted to show the visuals to the audience.
10:28The engagement to the song was very high.
10:38After a while, the entire perspective shifted.
10:48Nobody can be a fan of Prabhudeva's dance.
10:58We wanted to give a power-packed music.
11:08The master said, I'll change the get-up. Don't take it as a dance.
11:18A lot of people commented on that too.
11:28We wanted to take it humorously.
11:38Did he say anything about his dance?
11:48He said it very differently.
11:58He was expecting more from us.
12:08We wanted him to correct the rhythm and voice of the master.
12:18We knew what magic was happening.
12:28As a dancer, choreographer...
12:38We can see the lack of space for songs in recent films.
12:48How was the space for music in this film?
12:56It was fun. I'm very happy that we found space for all of this.
13:06We could have done it as a background score.
13:16The power of music was different.
13:26He said, I have multiple shots. Give me a song.
13:36I was very happy that we were able to give seven songs.
13:46I see this film as a visiting card.
13:56There's folk, ghanava, modern, pathos, melodies...
14:06We wanted to make an album with Tamil words at the forefront.
14:16There's a lot of English and Tunglish.
14:26We wanted to use a lot of Tamil words.
14:36When it came to melodies, I got Tamil lyrics to work on.
14:46Who made the decision? The tone of the film and the director.
14:56The outcome was that we could do it in our language.
15:06When it came to lyrics...
15:16You didn't give credit to the lyricist.
15:26There are seven songs in this film.
15:36I know how much the director has contributed.
15:46The director has a style and a track record.
15:56He has a formula and a meter.
16:06What was his issue with Jagan?
16:16When we talk live, there are a lot of changes.
16:26I don't know how it got conveyed back to them.
16:36It's all the director's call.
16:46How important a director is to a film, how important he is to songs...
16:5680% of the songs came after the lyrics.
17:06He would throw in the lyrics.
17:16He asked me to make a song out of it.
17:26He said he had written my stand.
17:36It's a matter for the two of them to deal with separately.
17:46Is there a chance for you to work with a lyricist as a music director?
17:56He's the lyricist in my mind.
18:06I'm the one who wrote the lyrics for Oosirosi.
18:16When we talk about content, I only talk about content.
18:26Jagan's part is also there in the film.
18:36Only they know why he didn't include it.
18:46If there's a contribution to the film, it's up to the two of them.
18:56You shared a lot about Jolly O Jim Kana.
19:06Even after the release of Kanguva, there were negative reviews.
19:16How do you see the reviews of the film?
19:26The audience didn't tell me what to do.
19:36We're doing what we think is right.
19:46No one wants to give a bad product.
19:56I haven't watched the film yet.
20:06Everyone has the freedom to say whether it's good or bad.
20:16Don't take it personally.
20:26If you had done it, it would have been better.
20:36When it comes to the film, no one is going to stop the film.
20:46Some people close their careers because of the reviews.
20:56They don't want to take the film.
21:06As makers, we don't force anyone to watch the film.
21:16If it's constructive, it will be helpful to everyone.
21:26What did you learn from him?
21:36Stay positive, stay humble. Don't let it bog you down.
21:46Don't think about whether a film is working or not.
21:56He's a jolly person. I ask him how he maintains his physique.
22:06Thank you for sharing your views on the film.
