GV Prakash, Na Muthukumar on a lyrical note

GV: It’s shaped up very well. I share a super rapportwith director Vijay, who gave me my first big break in Kireedam post Veyyil. He,in fact, signed me up for the Ajith film the very next day after the release ofVeyyil’s audio! All his films are musicals and have given me immense scopeto explore, musically, and DT is no exception.Na Muthukumar: The sequences in this film are very challenging for a lyricist. As the protagonist has the mental growth of a five-year-old, I’d had to pen a couple of songs keeping that in mind. However, during the montage scenes, the lyrics are in-depth.GV: In Madrassapattinam, the female lead could not speak the local language properly. And, the English she spoke would be tough to understand for the mass audiences. So, I had to explain her emotion through music. Here too, I had to compose keeping in the mind the character that Vikram portrays. Na Muthukumar:I think that there’s a lyric in every tune andas a writer, it’s my job to identify that and showcase it. And well,I’m also young, just like GV!GV: I share a great comfort level with Muthukumar and I’mglad that most of our songs have been accepted by the audiences.NaMuthukumar: I met GV first when he sang a few lines in the Remo... song inShankar’s Anniyan. Soon, he debuted as composer in Shankar’sproduction, Veyyil, which went on to do well. DT is our 10th film together.GV: I’ve gotten actor Vikram to sing two songs in DT! Oneof them, a number titled Papa..., is sung by him in the voice that his characterspeaks in the film. Then, there’s Orey Oru... that he’s sung in hisnormal voice. Besides, there’s a lovely number titled Vizhigalil...,Vennilavae... that I’ve sung and a theme music titled Life IsBeautiful....Na Muthukumar: The visuals of all the songs are amazingand director Vijay has taken song-making to a new level.
