How Gautham Menon roped in Ilayaraja

Director Gautham Menon has said that it is his deepest desire to work with Ilayaraja but he did not have the courage to ask him all these years.
Finally, after completing 50 percent of Nee Thaane En Pon Vasantham, Gautham gathered courage to discuss the project.
Soon after seeing what has been shot already, Ilayaraja agreed to compose the tunes. Amazingly, he had completed scoring the tunes for eight songs in just 16 days, says Gautham.The maestro is a true genius and does not want anyone to stop the flow of his work, adds Gautham Menon.
The songs in NEPV are sure to be a treat to all Ilayaraja fans out there.
