Talking about working with Ilaiyaraaja, Dr Sagar, who hails from Uttar Pradesh’s Ballia district, said: “Ilaiyaraaja is a big name in the music industry. I got a chance to meet him around four years ago in Chennai for the Paparao Biyyala-directed musical film ‘Music School’, which has about 12 songs. I’ve had the privilege to be involved in seven tracks. And in a way, we could say that the dialogue itself has been moulded into poetry.”
The film is all set to release in three languages: Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, and it stars talented artistes like Sharman Joshi, Shriya Saran, and Vinay Verma in the lead roles.
The lyricist added: “Working with Ilaiyaraaja sir was both an honour and a challenge. We both had to work through it and understand each other; even when it came to communicating, we had to speak in English. And now, I hope the audience will soon see the fruits of our efforts.”
