It’s well known that director Venkat Prabhu is working with Suriya on a film titled Masss . And, the latest about this project is that it is likely to have a Michael Jackson-inspired number that will be specially tuned by music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja.
“We are working on a special song,” said the composer at an awards function on Sunday. “Both Venkat and I are huge fans of Michael Jackson and have grown up watching his shows and videos. In this film, we wanted to have a song that will be inspired by MJ and we’re working on that currently.” The well-known Kollywood composer is a self-confessed fan of the King of Pop, having shown off MJ-like moves in his live concerts.
Venkat Prabhu and the composer have worked earlier on films like Saroja , Mankatha and Biriyani and come up with some superhit tunes in them.
This is the first time that Suriya is working with the director, who is known for striking a chord with youngsters. When we spoke with Suriya earlier, he said, “Shooting is progressing well and we should be completing the film in the next couple of months. This is such a young unit; it’s the first time a director is calling me ‘anna’.”
The first look of this movie, starring Nayanthara and Amy Jackson in female leads, was released during Deepavali and received positive feedback from fans thanks to Suriya’s intense look in it. The film will hit screens in 2015.
