Yuvan Shankar Raja Working Again With Selvaraghavan

Admin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:09:35 +0000

Bringing out the soul of the film deeply depends upon the chemistry between the director and the Music director. We see this particular bond is responsible to give the required punch to movie! Bharathiraja-Illayaraja, Mani Ratnam-AR Rahman, Saran-Bharadwaj and Goutham Menon-Harris Jeyaraj are classic examples of the hit couples.

Same way, self-image clashes between them is so very common that we know that they will surely come together before long. We have a hot news about the latest hit combo Goutham-Harris! It’s a known news that they both had a disagreement sometime ago. Know who brought them together again? It’s our real-cum-reel life super Jodi Suriya-Jo!

Same way the angel who brought together Yuvan and Selvaraghavan, with a mere phone call was none other than Sonia Agarwal… She even invited Yuvan for the audio launch of ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ and broke the silence between Selvaraghavan and the composer. We should say that she had done a good job before applying for the divorce. Now the result is- Yuvan working again with Selva for the project in which Vikram acts.
