Music composer MS Viswanathan has given many hit songs with his melody, It is a fact that not many people know that he has signed a contract to compose music for a film and then went to the house of the director who did not invite him to compose songs and challenged him.
MS Viswanathan worked as an assistant to many leading music composers in classical cinema, At one point he emerged as a solo composer. MS Viswanathan has given many hits with DK Ramamurthy who was his assistant., Owns the title of King of Melody.
Similarly, Kavyarasar Kannadasan and MS Viswanathan had a close personal friendship beyond the cinema, which is known to all. MSV has worked with many leading directors, He has worked with director PR Pandalu in several films including Karnan.
In this situation, PR Bandalu told MSV that he should compose music for a new film that he is directing and producing. While MSV also agreed, Even after several months, MSV was not invited to compose the song. MSV wondered why he was doing this, He has met PR Pandalu’s manager and talked about it.
The manager thinks how to answer MSV’s question, MSV says tell me directly I won’t regret anything. That manager, He paid you a huge salary and asked you to make music so far. But Pantalu is now on the verge of economic collapse. He has said that he is unable to pay your salary.
Hearing this, MSV immediately went to Pandalu’s house, Tell me my music doesn’t fit the story you’re creating right now and I’ll walk away. But if they say they don’t want me because they can’t pay me, I won’t agree. MSV said that you should not pay me even a single rupee for this film.
