It is always better to wait for a good surprise instead of thinking about it.

Any composer will not completely enjoy the process of creating a remix. Even if one adds their own elements, the song ultimately belongs to the original composer.
My films like 'Shahjahan,' 'Youth' and 'Pokkiri' were major commercial hits.
Anything that happens in film industry is a miracle.
While there is a typical introduction song for the hero, there are songs that represent each phase of the characters' journey.
Composing a melody or a western song is easier than composing a commercial number.
Whenever we compose a tune we must put our full heart into it, only then the output will be best. That is why every song of mine has a fresh feel.
I consider composing music to the sequel of 'Ladies Tailor' which had music by Ilayaraaja as my biggest blessing.
I love melodic tunes and I think Kannada listeners have an ear for romantic songs.
There is a very thin line that differentiates and gives a song its distinct flavour.
My feeling is, I am best at giving songs as per any director's taste.
