Actor Santhanam got injured after engaging in a brawl with a builder who was supposed to construct a shopping complex for the OKOK actor in Kunrathur. According to reports, Santhanam had contracted a one Mr. Shanmugasundaram to build a complex and reportedly gave him an advance for the same. But due to some reason, the agreement got cancelled and Santhanam wanted his money back.
The builder ostensibly delayed return of the advance amount, and when Santhanam had gone to meet Shanmugasundaram regarding this, they apparently began arguing which later developed into a severe fistfight. Both Santhanam and the builder got injured and had to receive medical care. Reportedly, both Santhanam and the builder have filed cases against each other following this incident.
Simbu’s single for Santhanam’s movie Sakka Podu Podu Raja is here! It has been rendered by the super talented music composer Anirudh Ravichander in his mellifluous voice and has been titled ‘Kalakku Machaan’.
The song composed by Simbu is a positive sounding number that has a blend of numerous instruments held together by Anirudh’s voice. At first, the folk beats flow in with Indian percussions, drums, guitars and even use of violins. A Nadhaswaram portion is detected towards the end as well.
The lyrics by Rokesh and STR himself are catchy and rhyme quite well. The tune is simple and linear with not too much experimentation with a medium tempo throughout. This part alone could have had some more variations which would have pepped up the proceedings.
However, for someone who is not a regular music composer, Simbu does a good job of attracting the masses with this commercial number ‘Kalakku Machaan’. We will have to wait for the entire album to see how Simbu handles different situations in the film.
