Participating in the release function of Film News' Anandan's compilation of film songs Vairamuthu reiterated that film songs are literature. In his own inimitable style he said that lyricists are creative people and that they are not earning wages from writing songs.
Can you believe that the provocation came from a young lyricist? Francil Krupa, who wrote the songs for 'Vennila kabadi kuzhu' is a literary person. He writes poetry. This is his first venture in writing for films. In an interview he had given to a publication he stated that film songs can't become literature.
According to Francil Krupa, writing songs for films is for wages alone. As if answering him Vairamuthu claimed that it is literature and songwriters are indeed poets.
What will be the reaction to this from young lyricists?
