Director Sami, known for his controversial themes, has consciously deviated from his image and come out with a film titled, 'Kangaroo'. Produced by Suresh Kamatchi and Ravichandran, 'Kangaroo' has Arjuna and Varsha Ashwathi in the lead. Interestingly, top playback singer Srinivas turns music composer with this film and the lines have been penned by none other than ace Vairamuthu. What had Srinivas feel he was on cloud nine was when his mentor, A.R. Rahman, unveiled the first set of audios at an event.
Later, it was launched officially at a press gathering. Speaking on the occasion, Vairamuthu related how Sami had come to him to tell him about Kangaroo and how he had wanted to approach him for his earlier films too, but had not been able to commandeer his large budgets. Vairamuthu apparently told him that he too knew the business of Tamil cinema. “I know what to charge for big-, small-and very small-budget films. In fact, I am passionate about writing for the last category. And my lyrics will have the same class as if I were to write for Rajini or Kamal or Mani Ratnam or Shankar,” he said. He also wished a speedy recovery to Ilaiyaraaja.
