This one's a musical treat

Director K Mahesh Sukhadhare, whose films are also known for their musical content, is gearing up for the release of

Happy Birthday

' the soundtrack for which is being composed by

V Harikrishna

. 'All my films, such as Sambhrama, Sainika, and even Ambareesha, were popular for their songs. Happy Birthday, we hope, will follow suit. Harikrishna has composed tunes for over a 100 films and most of them have turned out to be great hits. He also happens to have learnt the ropes from ace music director Hamsalekha, who we have worked with in the past. We are excited to have Harikrishna on board, especially since he is trying his hand at a genre such as folk with this film,' says Mahesh. Add to that the hit combination of Harikrishna and lyricist V Nagendra Prasad, who together have delivered some soul-stirring numbers for the

Kannada

film industry before, and this one is definitely an album to watch out for. The film has newcomer Sachin playing the lead role.
