Bharadwaj - Interview





Each man has his own style of music. What about yours?
With each film I change my style. For example, my music in Cheran’s Autograph was different from that of Vasool Raja MBBS. People who had seen Autograph keep telling me that they were feeling happy whenever they hear the songs "Mansukkuley Dhagam", "Ovvoru Pookalumey". I also feel proud that the film has successfully completed 170 days.

How was it working for Kamalhassan's Vasool Raja MBBS?
I feel very fortunate that I am given an opportunity to work for Gemini Film Circuit’s Vasool Raja MBBS under Sharan’s direction with Kamalhassan in the lead. There are six songs in the film with different tunes. I have been receiving the feedback from various quarters that they enjoyed the songs of the film.

Were you given full freedom to do Vasool Raja music?
Director Sharan, Kamalhassan and me will always assemble at the time of composing the songs. In fact, Kamalhassan praised my composing and for the tunes coming swiftly. This is the sixth film I am working with Sharan. When Kamal needed some more input he explained it to me in a simple way. I grasped it and made some alterations and additions in my tunes to suit to the tastes of the actor.

How do you rate your music direction for the Vasool Raja MBBS film?
Now, after the release of the audiocassettes of the film, everyone started appreciating my music. This is the reward I earn for my sincerity. Kamalhassan was telling me the other day that he had heard many of my songs earlier, but Vasool Raja’s tunes were fantastic and something new. I am sure the songs of the film are going to be a mega-hit.


Have you introduced any new singers in your film?
I have introduced Sathyan, VNP, Arjun, Tanen and Grace in this film. Recently, I was in Singapore and I have recorded a song with the singer Bala Murali Krishna for the film Ulla Kadathal.
