One of the first song briefs that director Karthik Swaminathan gave composer Revaa for the Vijay Sethupathi-starrer Mugizh, which releases this Friday, was about a family that bonds with a puppy.
Revaa composed a three-minute song that the team was happy with. However, when they went to shoot, there was a problem: the reactions that Scooby, the role played by the pup, just did not sit with the song.
This put both Karthik and Revaa in a tight spot, and they decided to do something unconventional: shoot the entire song, and then compose the tune. “Going through the lengthy footage, I sat down and composed depending on the graph that the puppy follows in the film,” recalls Revaa, seated comfortably at her uncle Ramanathan’s Nadabindu Recording Studio at KK Nagar.
