The music album of Jagame Thandhiram (2021) sees the reunion of Santhosh Narayanan and Dhanush. The actor and composer have previously collaborated on projects like Vada Chennai (2018) and Karnan (2021).
The two artistes have known each other for a long time and for their fourth collaboration, they’ve come up with hit songs such as 'Rakita Rakita Rakita' and 'Bujji'.
Speaking about his equation with Dhanush, Santhosh said, “I have always told him that he is one of the best pop music artists in India. He can do totally different films simultaneously. He can also write. He can also create a song like ‘Rowdy Baby’.
“He has the great knack of understanding what people like in this day and age,” he added. “For Jagame Thandhiram, I would send him songs, and although he has had so many big hits, he would stick to what this film needed. He was more of a mentor for the songs of Jagame Thandhiram. Though he doesn't accept it, I would call him the mentor of this album.
Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Jagame Thandhiram is due to be released on 18 June on Netflix.
