Ramya Kannan
CHENNAI: When the makers of this music album scouted around for a quintessential Tamil icon, they were attracted by the name Mallika. Common enough, and yet, essentially Tamil. And when they read Mallika along with love, that’s how Mallika, the album evolved.
Producer Sushanth Raghavan is really excited about what he claims is Tamil’s first DJ mix album.“It is full of live, passions of the youth, love and tender memories.” The music has been directed by Shameer, a keyboard specialist, who has said to have hits in Kannada. He has managed to throw in a few genres: rap, pop, even dance music.
His task has been made easier with some of the most popular playback singers in filmdom pitching in: Jassie Gift of ‘Lajavathiye’ fame, Srinivas, Karthik, Rita, RJ Suchi, Ranjith, Prasanna, Swetha, and supported by Hema and Sam P. Keethan. Lyrics are by Na.Muthukumar, Yugabarathi and Sreeram. The album will be released soon.
