Chennai, July 25 (NationPress) Renowned Tamil film music composer Sam C S, celebrated for his remarkable contributions to numerous blockbuster films, has revealed that he is also composing music for a South Korean film.
In an interview with IANS, Sam C S confirmed this exciting news. "Indeed, I am crafting the score for a South Korean production. They approached me after hearing my work on director Arun Matheswaran's Saani Kayidham, which stars Selvaraghavan and Keerthy Suresh.
This is not Sam C S's first venture into international cinema. He shared that he previously scored for a Vietnamese film in 2022.
"The producers of that project connected with me through famous stunt choreographer Peter Hein," he explained.
Interestingly, Sam has been selected to compose music for the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, an animation series that will release seven films over the next decade.
Ashwin Kumar, the director of Mahavatar Narsimha, the franchise's inaugural film, stated that he chose Sam C S from numerous music directors in the country after being captivated by his background score for the Tamil film 'Jada'.
In his conversation with IANS, the director remarked, "Having a background in music myself, I often reflect on what my career might have been if I hadn’t pursued filmmaking. During my search for a composer, I explored many musicians' works. When I listened to the soundtrack of 'Jada', I was spellbound. I realized that Sam C S was the only one who could do justice to this project," said Ashwin Kumar.
He further elaborated, "We managed to reach out to him and present what we had completed, which was about sixty to seventy percent of the film. He instantly grasped the film's expansive musical requirements, which span a wide global spectrum. We are utilizing Digi2 from Australia, orchestral compositions, and traditional music simultaneously. The knowledge required for this is vast, and we are incorporating modern film music elements as well."
