For years, it was Illayaraja who composed music for all Kamal Haasan movies till the trend changed little more than a decade ago. These days, it seems that the ace actor prefers changing music composers for every film of him.

Now that the Ulaga Nayagan is ready for his next venture, which will be directed by Selvaraghavan, a guessing game is on as to who would score music for this big-budget project.

Sources in the know say Shankar Mahadevan, the popular singer, will get an opportunity to work with Kamal and Selva this time. “But a formal agreement is yet to be signed,” the sources add.

Confirming this, Shankar Mahadevan says, “Yes, it is true that I have been approached for Kamal’s next film. But nothing has been finalised yet.” Shankar, besides singing, is equally busy as a music composer in Bollywood.
