National Award-winning composer D Imman on the songs of Rajinikanth’s Deepavali release, Annaatthe, directed by Siva
Music composer is facing his biggest test yet. This Deepavali, he will know the result.
After almost two decades in the industry and a career that has seen many ups and downs, the composer has done something that he always craved for: scoring for a Rajinikanth film. Annaatthe, releasing in theatres next week, puts the Superstar in a rural backdrop, a milieu very familiar to Imman.
For Imman, it is a setting he is most comfortable with, having worked on several superhit rural dramas in the last decade. “I have been typecast that way,” admits a candid Imman, in a telephonic chat, “However, I choose to look at its positive side: whenever a script has a rural setting, the makers approach me for music. They believe that I have it in me to pull it off. It is the reason I got Ajith’s Viswasam. It is why Annaatthe happened.”
