Recalling his conversation with the legendary composer, the filmmaker said that he was excited to have the composer onboard after he showed its first cut to the music director. Karthik wrote, "I was so so excited and was processing the fact that Raaja sir agreed to compose for my film and that's when Raaja sir said 'The Background score should be released as an album before the release of the film'. My mind voice was... 'Rightu...Appo Sambavam Confirm... ' and here we are now..."
