For the first time ever, Gautham Menon and Ilayaraja will be working together! Yes, the 68-year-old has been signed to score the music for forthcoming Tamil movie Neethaane En Ponvasantham (NEP).
Earlier the director had roped in AR Rahman for Nee Thaane En Pon Vasantham but due to his busy schedule, the Oscar winning music director opted out.
Following this, there were rumors that Gautham would get back his old buddy Harris Jayaraj to work with him. It may be mentioned here that Gautham and Harris parted ways some years after a misunderstanding between them.
When Gautham was looking for a suitable musician to work with, he decided that it is best to sign up Ilayaraja who is known to churn out soul-stirring melodious songs.
The music director has confirmed that he has signed Gautham Menon's film. Ilaiyaraaja claims that he will start the composition works soon. It is also noted that they have teamed up for the first time and the expectations have obviously reached sky high from this combo.
Nee Thaane En Pon Vasantham has Jiiva and Samantha playing the lead roles and the film is being made simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu as well.
