The story is supposed a big issue that is rocking India. Udayabanu is planning to cast Pasupathy in the lead role and discussions are on.
Even before the start of 'Sandhai,' there's a lot of stir in the poetic circle. Usually, the composer composes his tune according to the situation. Lyricists write accordingly. Sometimes, the reverse happens. The music is composed for lyrics written by the poets. In 'Sandhai,' a third possibility is happening.
Udayabanu is going to pick up poems from the 2 books 'Puthagam' and 'Penmngal Innum Azhagai Irukkiraargal' written by lyricist Snehan and give them to the music composer to set tunes to.
It's not new for directors to use already written lyrics. The poem "evano oruvan vaasikkiran…" written by Vairamauthu was already famous when it was used in 'Alai Payudhey.' Since it was suitable for the situation, Mani Ratnam used it.
But this is the first time all songs in a film are being chosen like this!
