00:05Who or what inspired you to become a music director?
00:09Music direction was in the family because my father was a music director.
00:14And he died when I was very young.
00:17So I had to take up music some way.
00:19And I became a keyboard player when I was young.
00:22I started composing when I was around 20 and it made me.
00:26What do you think is the qualities required to be a good music director?
00:31A good music director now I think should generally bring out the feeling which is needed in the film.
00:42And it shouldn't bring the film down by any way.
00:47And it should lift the scenes and the emotion and the thought of the film which is conveyed by the
00:52director.
00:57And he shouldn't corrupt the ears of people by giving noisy stuff.
01:05Nowadays there is a big craze for rap or pop music.
01:09So what do you feel about it?
01:13I like the best of it.
01:15And I don't say that it is the form of music.
01:19Because somewhere something is good in it and I take that for background music and stuff like that.
01:26You are a very young person.
01:28But you have already established a great name as a music director.
01:31And you have won the national award for your very first film.
01:34So now what is your ultimate goal?
01:36Is to maintain the standard.
01:41In Rangila, how have you catered to the taste of the Hindi audience?
01:47The taste of the Hindi audience is very different from...
01:51It's more international, right?
01:52So my Roja music was received very well.
01:56And this gave me a nice starting for it.
02:02And I am trying to maintain the same kind of standard and go beyond on the melody side.
02:09So who is your favourite person?
02:13Any good musician.
02:16Music or what?
02:17Anything?
02:18Any good musician.
02:20And your favourite song from your own composition?
02:25It depends upon my mood.
02:27In each mood I like one of my numbers.
02:30Can you name some?
02:35Uh...
02:36Tamra Tamra and Roja.
02:38And Chinna Chinna Asai.
02:39Then Gentleman Chikapakurail and...
02:42It goes like that.
02:44After the success of Roja, you have received a lot of offers from the North industry.
02:50Why did you choose Rangila out of all that?
02:54I had accepted around three or four movies.
02:58And Rangila started first.
03:01And...
03:01Ram Gopal Bama is a very modern director and he's interested in music.
03:05He loves every bit of music which I do.
03:08And...
03:09So I had a very good rapper with him.
03:11So I thought I'll start with Rangila.
03:15Do you have any message for your audience?
03:19Uh...
03:23The audience have been very kind.
03:25To support my music and...
03:27Me and...
03:28I thank God for everything.
03:33And I wish...
03:35I could maintain this standard forever.
03:38Go beyond it.
