GV scores 25!

He started when he was just 17 and now, at 25, is already 25 films old! Music composer G V Prakash, who burst into the music scene with loads of promise in Veyyil, has since then grown and worked with the very best talents in Kollywood. And this year is vital for the composer because of his 25th release ( Thaandavam) and his Bollywood foray. In a candid tete-a-tete with CT, he opens up at the journey and what’s real looking currently.How do you look back on that evening when the audio of Veyyil was launched?I still remember the fact that audio launch vividly. I USED TO BE wondering what was happening, how my music can be taken up. I USED TO BE really nervous to boot however the minute Veyilodu Vilaiyadu was played and those appeared to like it, I USED TO BE happy. Also I never thought I'LL attempt and be good at background scores but if I watched Veyyil and saw people actually applauding the music within the vital scene by which Pasupathy meets Bharath, I realised I'LL do it.

How has G V Prakash changed from then to now?Now, I UNDERSTAND HOW to address things. Then, I'D be afraid to select my phone calls and so would miss them but now I’m confident of coping with things.

Musically, how do you're thinking that you’ve matured over the years?I’ve always looked to do something new. Even if I BEGAN off to do music, I NEEDED to do period films, adventure films — stuff like that. The time I came into the industry, luckily, matched with some young directors who were innovative and gave me that sort of labor. For me, each day is a journey and a lesson from which we learn something.

Directors you’ve always desired to work with…When I watched Pithamagan and Dev D, I told myself that I should work with the filmmakers doing such projects. Interestingly, very soon, both Bala and Anurag Kashyap came up with offers for his or her films. I USED TO BE thrilled to take in both (Paradesi and Gangs of Wasseypur) and it was an honour working with such big names in cinema.

What’s special about your music on your opinion?I like changing zones. I FEEL that’s one of the crucial reasons people have accepted me as a composer.

Are you taking a look at Bollywood in a large way as well?I love to open new doors and spot what’s inside. That’s the similar with Hindi cinema in addition. Engaged on films like Gangs… with Anurag and Joker with Akshay Kumar – they’re a dream debut there for me. Both these films are with reference to me as I’ve installed real exertions in them, spending with reference to a year on just these alone. I'M taking a look at Hindi cinema in a large way within the future.

Any particular actor/filmmaker you're keen to work with?It should be Aamir Khan. The type of films he does really appeals to me and as an actor, he’s up there. I’d like to work with him someday.

Will GV the singer be heard more often from now on?I’m not a large fan of my voice in any respect; I used to think that I don’t sing well. But director Vetrimaran changed all that. If Yathe Yathe… did well, people will need to have liked something about my voice. But I DON'T force-fit my voice right into a song — I DO KNOW my limits and use it only when it's required.
