[[Nithyasree Mahadevan]] told about the making one of the songs, "We did not have any lyrics except the words "Manmadha Masam", when [[Shankar Mahadevan]], Rahman Sir and I started it. So we worked on improvisations with those two words and sent the meter to poet Vaali. Vaali Sir was so overwhelmed with the tune that he said he did not want to pollute it with more words.
