I felt really emotional to sing for Simbu: Yuvan Shankar Raja

Audio launch of Santhanam's 'Sakka Podu Podu Raja' began with a brilliant speech from composer Yuvan Shankar Raja. A friend of actor Simbu, Raja has composed music for the film, marking his debut as a composer. “Simbu is not naïve when it comes to music. It is in his blood,” he said. “He used to visit my recording studio and would ask about the different sound effects and instruments in my computer most of which I, myself wouldn't have explored. He is a multi-talented person. We recorded for about 4 to 5 hours, and I was fagged out with all the layers and variety of tracks.”

He continued, “Whenever I used him in my album, I gave him high-pitched songs. And Simbu had his time when I sang for his composition. It was an emotional moment for me to sing in his composition. He gave quite a lot of tough notes, I somehow managed and justified my job I hope.” Director Rajesh, who has delivered a handful of super-hit films with Santhanam, said they will start shooting for his next project with the actor. “My next film will be with Santhanam. I have already narrated five stories, and he doesn't seem convinced. Finally, he liked a script, and we are going on floors from January 2018. During 'Boss Engira Baskaran' and 'OKOK' shoots, he used to ask me, 'I have screen presence through the movie, but why do you guys fly alone for foreign locations to shoot songs? I will do something witty in songs too.'”

“Today when I see him romancing in international locations I feel happy. I guess that's the reason he wanted to become a hero. Jokes apart, he is a person who always has this quest for what's next. He has almost teamed with all the leading actors. As a friend, I'm happy about his success.”
