00:00If I have to dedicate a song to Raja sir, I will dedicate it to him.
00:10After this song, I spoke to my friend Yuvraj, who is a producer of the movie Lover.
00:17I told him that I will definitely work on this song.
00:21We did a cover of this song in one of our albums.
00:24It was a great song.
00:26It was a love failure.
00:28It should have been a great song.
00:30I don't know how we missed it.
00:34Beyond Namathukumar and Yuvan Kambo,
00:36they would have been formed in the beginning.
00:38Their journey starts from Devadheyakandan.
00:41I think from Kaadhal Kondayan.
00:43They would have started from there.
00:45I will take it like that.
00:48We can think only to a certain extent.
00:50The budget is important for a movie to become grand.
00:56If the budget is good, no director would want to reduce the budget.
01:00Sasi Kumar sir is the reason why this song became so big.
01:05I got a call after a week.
01:09I said that I will talk to him.
01:11He said that I didn't send the tune.
01:15He said that I didn't send the tune.
01:17I got a mail ID and he sent it to me.
01:19He sent it in half an hour.
01:21That's how I got the song.
01:25Many people say that I have become famous after listening to the song.
01:29It's a good thing.
01:31But who wrote it?
01:33I don't know why.
01:39I have used two songs before this.
01:44But it didn't become a big hit.
01:46I don't know why.
01:48But I have a big love for this word.
01:50I created this word.
01:54I am successful in love.
01:56But before that, there is a struggle.
01:59That pain is always with me.
02:03Before I love my wife,
02:05Many people love only one side.
02:07I am like Hidhayam Murali.
02:09I am Hidhayam Mohan.
02:13Hello! Hi!
02:15Hi brother!
02:17How are you?
02:19We are doing a new show.
02:21We are going to talk to Karthik.
02:23You are the first guest.
02:25We are going to talk to Karthik.
02:27Let's go.
02:29The first thing I want to say to the audience is...
02:33This is a big peak song.
02:35This is a big peak song.
02:37This is a big peak song.
02:39It's very viral now.
02:41It's a big peak song.
02:43Many of you know it.
02:45You wrote a lot of songs in Good Night.
02:47But the song Then Chudair is at its peak now.
02:49We listen to it when we are depressed.
02:51We listen to it when we are sad.
02:53We listen to it when we are happy.
02:55We listen to it when we are happy.
02:57That song is a big hit.
02:59That song is a big hit.
03:01How did you create this song?
03:03How did you create this song?
03:05After my dream,
03:07We were equally happy to see Then Chudair's love song getting promoted.
03:15Although I was very happy as this song was at its peak,
03:19After the song was released,
03:21I met one of the producers of my friend Yuvraaj's movie...
03:23I met one of the producers of my friend Yuvraaj's movie...
03:25He said he wanted me to do a job in the song.
03:27He said he wanted me to do a job in the song.
03:29But doing this now is blissful.
03:31But doing this now is blissful.
03:33There is concentration in the song then also...
03:35But now it's more than that. That's what surprises me.
03:40If we do a good job, how does it reach the audience?
03:45This song is a great example of that.
03:50We hear this song a lot.
03:55We hear this song a lot.
04:00We hear this song a lot in memes.
04:05You've written it in such depth.
04:10Do you have an incident?
04:15Do you have an incident?
04:20I'm successful in love. But before that, there's a struggle. I always have that pain.
04:30No matter how successful you are, you can't be successful in love without experiencing that pain.
04:35No matter how successful you are, you can't be successful in love without experiencing that pain.
04:40If I don't get what I want, I'll go back to that moment.
04:45I'll recollect that pain.
04:50That's why I convert these lines into produced lines.
04:55When we put our feelings into lines, doesn't it become a soulful production?
05:00I see that in Theen Sudarai, in Usiru Ooruvi, in Eludha Kathai...
05:05I see this as an important album.
05:10I was very happy.
05:15I wrote about the situation when I first wrote about it.
05:20The director explained the situation to me.
05:25The director explained the situation to me.
05:30When he was writing in a tea shop...
05:40I wrote that line in Thenirvidi.
05:45I told the director that this was my story.
05:50I tried many times to remove it from the song.
05:55The director said, this line is very good. I'll put a tune to it.
06:05I have to thank the director.
06:10If I didn't put a tune, I don't know how far the song would have reached.
06:15I have to thank director Prabhu and Sean Gordon.
06:20I have to thank one of the producers, Yuvraj.
06:25I have to thank another producer, Mahesh.
06:30It's such a slow and painful song.
06:35Instead of making it viral, I wanted to give it freedom.
06:40I have to thank them for that.
06:45You write songs for the sake of love failure.
06:50I know that you write songs for dreams.
06:55Until now, no one has written songs for depression or love failure.
07:00But now you have written songs for goodnight.
07:05You have written the album.
07:10You have romanticized the song.
07:15I have to thank director Vinayak and Sean Gordon.
07:20I have three albums with Sean Gordon.
07:25I have to thank them for that.
07:30Goodnight was sent to me after the tune.
07:35We removed that word.
07:40I have to thank Vinayak and Sean Gordon.
07:45All three of us would have come with Raja sir.
07:50If I had to dedicate a song to Raja sir, it would be Goodnight.
07:55Vinayak never gives up on Raja.
08:00Vinayak never gives up on Raja.
08:05He travels with Raja.
08:10We wrote the lyrics for Ekunar's song.
08:15We went to a tea shop and had tea.
08:20When we came back, we wrote a song called Story.
08:25I have a habit of drinking tea.
08:30That's what I liked about this concept.
08:35When I was studying at Loyola College,
08:40I used to ask my friends if I could have tea.
08:45Everyone would ask me why I drank tea.
08:50I used to ask my friends if I could have tea.
08:55I used to ask my friends if I could have tea.
09:00I used to ask my friends if I could have tea.
09:05I had a habit like that.
09:10Tea totallers can't live without tea.
09:15We're going to talk a lot about tea.
09:20You wrote Nangali in Goodnight.
09:25After Nangali, we started writing Chilmakka.
09:30Chilmakka was busy, so we couldn't write it.
09:35We decided to give it a try.
09:40We decided to write the lyrics and then tune it.
09:45That's how Chilmakka was born.
09:50Ekunar and Esayam Palaram have a place for music.
09:55You can get a great result from that.
10:00You can get a great result from that.
10:05It's a place where two people can share their thoughts.
10:10It's a place where two people can share their thoughts.
10:15I'd send it to Ekunar at 4 a.m.
10:20He'd like it.
10:25He'd like it.
10:30Chilmakka is a great song.
10:35It's a love failure.
10:40I don't know how it got missed.
10:45I and Yuvraj will talk about it in the future.
10:50There's a song called Po.
10:55I'm sure you'll all like it.
11:00There's a connection between you two.
11:05There's a connection between you two.
11:10Even if it's a big word...
11:15Even if it's a big word...
11:20Even Shankarraja and Namuthukumar have a great combo.
11:25Even Shankarraja and Namuthukumar have a great combo.
11:30Recently, you've released a great album.
11:35Recently, you've released a great album.
11:40It's full and full of love.
11:50I often say that Muthukumar's 7G album is my lover's album.
11:55I often say that Muthukumar's 7G album is my lover's album.
12:00Beyond Namuthukumar and Yuvraj's combo,
12:05Beyond Namuthukumar and Yuvraj's combo,
12:10I'll take it that way.
12:15I'll take it that way.
12:20What's the connection between you two?
12:25H.V. Nath gave me the intro.
12:30But it didn't work out.
12:35He couldn't do it.
12:40The first meeting was like this.
12:45Then, Ponkumar in 1947...
12:50Then, Ponkumar in 1947...
12:55I called him and asked him to play a song.
13:00It was a song that I loved.
13:05I asked him if I could get some time.
13:10We met at 2 p.m.
13:15He said the lyrics were great.
13:20We finished the song at 5 p.m.
13:25It was a great song.
13:30Yuvraj was my friend.
13:35He said the music was great.
13:40When I finished reading the story,
13:45When I finished reading the story,
13:50Before that, this film was a base.
13:55Yuvraj and I didn't know each other.
14:00That's how the film started.
14:05That's how the film started.
14:10That's how the film started.
14:15The first meeting was cancelled.
14:20The meeting with H.V. Nath and Chandra was cancelled.
14:25It started in 1947.
14:30It started in 1947.
14:35It started in 1947.
14:40How is your journey going to be?
14:45I'm working on a film with Vikram.
14:50I'm working on a film with Vikram.
14:55I'm working on a film with Vikram.
15:00I'm writing the lyrics.
15:05We've brought it this far.
15:10It's time to decide how we're going to take it further.
15:15The strong bonding between us has to grow.
15:20We can't do it blindly.
15:25We have to do 30-60 more albums.
15:30We have to get closer to the magic.
15:35Tea reminds us of a lot of memories.
15:40Tea reminds us of a lot of memories.
15:45Tea reminds us of a lot of memories.
15:50What do you think of tea?
15:55I think of tea as a big vessel.
16:00I think of tea as a big vessel.
16:05When you're hungry, you can't eat and talk.
16:10When you're hungry, you can't eat and talk.
16:15You can eat tea and talk.
16:20A lot of people join a tea shop.
16:25A lot of people join a tea shop.
16:30Vairamuthu sir wrote, the sky is my medicine.
16:35I wake up at 4 or 3 a.m.
16:40I wake up at 4 or 3 a.m.
16:45Since I drink a lot of tea, I'm used to eating in ounces.
16:50Since I drink a lot of tea, I'm used to eating in ounces.
16:55When I drink tea, I get an idea.
17:00When I drink tea, I get an idea.
17:05In Tamil cinema, some people come to Chennai.
17:10At that time, there's a sense of hunger.
17:15Do you have such experiences?
17:20There are a lot.
17:25I'm saying this for motivation.
17:30I'm saying this for motivation.
17:35I didn't eat for three days.
17:40I didn't start writing songs.
17:45I didn't start writing songs.
17:50I got a payment in a TV show.
17:55I got a payment in a TV show.

18:05At that time, I didn't know about 25K.
18:10At that time, I didn't know about 25K.
18:15At that time, I didn't know about 25K.
18:20I was happy.
18:25My life was all about tea.
18:30I started making friends.
18:35I started making friends.
18:40It's like a family.
18:45It's like a family.
18:50In all the songs you have written, we are going to play a game called, Guess the song with lyrics.
18:57So, all the songs you have written.
18:59I am a big shot in my memory.
19:01Anga suthi, inga suthi, vandana iya, maapillai, seerkali ki marupullai.
19:07Jilla vettai jilla.
19:09Is this the correct answer?
19:11No, no, no. You asked me to say it, that's why I guessed it.
19:14Now, when you say the lyrics, I remember it.
19:16Oh, you remember it. Because you guessed it twice.
19:18How did you come up with this song?
19:20This song is called, Pesuminsaram Niya.
19:24It's my first song for Tamil cinema.
19:26It's by James Hosnan.
19:28That song hasn't been released yet.
19:30He called me a week later and gave me this song.
19:32He didn't give it to me right away.
19:34We did it for another film.
19:36A director called Kannan sir did this song.
19:38So, this is it.
19:40I am telling you again.
19:42I asked Ponkumar if I could get two days' time.
19:46I asked him if I could get two days' time.
19:48He said, no, you have to write it right away.
19:50So, I wrote it right away.
19:52It took me four hours.
19:54Now, when I think of this song, I am surprised.
19:56How did I write it in four hours?
19:58It's a speed.
20:00It's a fear that I shouldn't lose this opportunity.
20:02That fear is my strength.
20:04But, when you wrote this song, did you think about this?
20:06They are going to be in the visual.
20:08Especially, Thirunagai will be in the visual.
20:10So, the lyrics will be apt for them.
20:12So, did you think about this?
20:14No.
20:16Visually, I can think about it to some extent.
20:18But, it depends on the budget.
20:20If the budget is good, no director would want to reduce it.
20:22Sasi Kumar sir is responsible for making this song so big.
20:24He put a lot of effort.
20:26He made this song because he wanted to create a situation that didn't exist in the story.
20:28I think that's why it was so much of attention.
20:30That's why I've always been grateful to Sasi Kumar sir.
20:32Next, let's go to a song with deep lyrics.
21:02I went as a dialogue writer for this film.
21:12When I was sent this song, Ani only sent Pallavi.
21:22I thought it would be a song that would come back and forth.
21:32I got a call after a week. I asked him if he had sent the tune.
21:42He said he hadn't sent it. I was shocked. He sent it in half an hour.
21:52He sent it in half an hour. The next day, he called me after the recording.
22:02I was very happy to hear that.
22:12I didn't know it would reach this level.
22:22I became famous because of this song.
22:32I didn't know who wrote the song.
22:42I didn't know if it was written by a famous writer.
22:52It was a big pain for me.
23:02It was a big pain for me.
23:12There's a song called Yaanji Yaanji.
23:22I'll read the lyrics.
23:32How did you come up with the tagline, Nenjaathi?
23:42I've used this line twice before.
23:52I've used this line twice before.
24:02I've used this line twice before.
24:12Shan said it was great. He liked it.
24:22There was a lot of struggle to get this line.
24:32He didn't have time so he didn't sing. I had to wait for a month.
24:42I asked him if I could sell Nenjaathi.
24:52I asked him if I could sell Nenjaathi.
25:02He didn't like it. Then Shan CS became very strong.
25:12Otherwise, this line wouldn't have come.
25:22I don't know how that happens.
25:32I don't know how that happens.
25:42There's a song called Aasa Vuravi.
25:52There's a song called Aasa Vuravi.
26:02Even then, I wonder who's writing this.
26:12It's like a meme.
26:22No matter what you write, it has to be musical.
26:32That's success.
26:42I'll tell you the line.
26:52There's a situation in this.
27:02If you look at it visually, he doesn't talk.
27:12He doesn't want to leave me.
27:22We only think after we've done a big mistake.
27:32I thank Ekunar for that.
27:42I've changed it completely.
27:52There are two types of Aasa Vuravi.
28:02There's a song called Aasa Vuravi.
28:12There are two types of Aasa Vuravi.
28:22There's a song called Aasa Vuravi.
28:32There's a song called Aasa Vuravi.
28:42There's a song called Aasa Vuravi.
28:52It's a tough life.
29:02How did you decide to become a lyricist?
29:12My role model was Sujatha sir.
29:22I used to read his books.
29:32I used to read his books.
29:42I used to read his books.
29:52I used to read his books.
30:02I used to read his books.
30:12I used to read his books.
30:22I used to read his books.
30:32There's only one point of view in life.
30:42How can you live for a thousand lifetimes?
30:52If you read, you can become a soldier.
31:02Reading is a way of life.
31:12How do you define love?
31:20There's no need to define it.
31:30We don't know what love is.
31:40There's a word for it.
31:50Love is not sacred.
32:00I saw it as a medium to understand another person's heart.
32:10You listen to a radio station.
32:20I think that's very important in real life.
32:30There are people like us.
32:40Do you think that's part of life?
32:48Life is very hard.
32:58If you think about it after 10 years, you'll cry.
33:08Many people love one-sidedly.
33:18If I tell a girl I love her, she's my wife.
33:28Even if you win or lose, you'll feel like you're breaking up.
33:38After marriage, there will be a fight.
33:48You have to go beyond 10 years to call it a successful love.
33:58Otherwise, it can become an infatuation.
34:08In the movie, M. R. Rathasala, his friend asks him if he wants to get married.
34:18He says he doesn't know what marriage is in India.
34:28You have to be with her at all times.
34:38Only then you won't enslave her.
34:48Love will enslave them.
34:58You have to keep them safe.
35:08It's common for men to praise or scold women.
35:18But there are very few songs that express their feelings.
35:28You don't have to say anything.
35:38Even if you fail, you'll cry.
35:48They think it's their decision.
35:58If you talk to a girl like that, will you look down on her?
36:08We think from the outside.
36:18They think a lot.
36:28They keep their feelings inside.
36:38You can only talk to close friends.
36:48A friend of mine called me and told me that the song was great.
36:58I said I didn't mean it that way.
37:08What are you going to do next?
37:18I'm going to do a few films with Shaun Dorgan.
37:28Nivas K. Prasanna is my best friend.
37:38Kumki 2 is also going to be released soon.
37:48I'm sure it will be released.
37:58Can you tell us about the incidents in Kumki 2?
38:08I've already written a film about Kumki 2.
38:18I'll talk about it when it's near.
38:28Bharath is acting in Sam C.S.'s music.
38:38Sam C.S. is doing a film in Malayalam.
38:48I've just finished composing a song.
38:58The songs you've written are very meaningful to us.
39:08We wish you all the best.
39:18I don't know how to compare myself to Yuvan Muthukumar.
39:28Thank you to One India.
39:38I wish you all the best.
39:48We are going to meet a lot of people.
