“In this movie, in two places, the situations in which songs play are those which Rahman sir himself designed for us.
“It isn’t a sung-heavy film, but it is very beautiful.he was looking at the movie and said “I see the song Gautham.
Why is there not an actual song in this film? It’s exactly the kind of movement you suggest it should be, but I consider it to be an actual song.Why don’t you treat this musically? Rahman sir asked and then created two similar situations for songs.” Menon added.

However, due to of the lockdown as well as the pandemic there was a lot of discussion took place on the internet.It was conducted via Skype, Zoom and phone calls.
