Gangai Amaran works with Bharathiraja

It didn't take place though many expected that Bharathiraja would work with his good friend maestro Ilayaraja after a long time, for 'Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum'. The film went on floors with young gun G V Prakash Kumar as music composer.

But the Isaignani's younger brother Gangai Amaran is a vital part of the movie. The actor-director-composer has penned lyrics for songs in 'Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum'. "Vairamuthu and Gangai Amaran have taken care of all the numbers in the movie," sources say.

Interestingly, it was Gangai Amaran who penned lyrics for all the songs in Bharathiraja's 'En Uyir Thozhan', which hit the screens in 1990. The film which had Babu and Rama in lead roles dealt with the life of an innocent slum dweller.

"Gangai Amaran is happy to work with Bharathiraja again," sources say, recalling the deep friendship between Ilayaraja brothers and the director, which dates back to more than three decades. 'Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum' has Ameer, Iniya and Karthika in lead roles.
