Notwithstanding all the troubles, Periyar is progressing day in and day out for an early 2007 release. Now though, the movie is in news yet again after maestro Ilayaraja turning down the offer for composing music of Periyar.
Ilayaraja rendered music to director Gnanasekaranâs earlier movies such as the award winning Mohamul, Bharathy, and Mugham. Bharathy even brought home an award for the best play back singing.
Though Gnanasekaran shares a good rapport with the maestro, Ilayaraja politely turned down the offer stating that since he is a believer in God it would be against his principles to work for a movie that portrays the life of a leader who had preached against God and was an atheist. I would not compose for the movie even if you paid me a crore in return, Ilayaraja was quoted as saying.
Following this, Gnanasekaran has roped in Vidyasagar for composing Periyarâs music. As additional information, Periyar features 9 directors in its list of cast, which includes Manivannan, T.P. Gajendran, R. Sundarrajan, Manobala, Stanley, Bharathykannan, Keerthykumar, Balu Anand, and Anu Mohan.
