In Vairamuthu Neram in Radio,,, Vairamuthu himself said the following :-
Maniratnam asked Rahman to set the tune of the love song ( Pudhu vellai Mazhai from ROJA ) to be like that of in Kashmir, and wanted the tune of the song also to be chilling. Neither me nor A.R. Rahman could understand that. How can the tune become chilling ?. Maniratnam wanted it to be like , a chilling type, even when the song is heard. Nothing could be understood. After hearing to many tunes, finally, he composed a tune in Kanada raga. That is " Pudhu Vellai Mazhai song tune. When you hear the tune itself, it would be like that of a chilling nature. The sweeetness of the tune itself is like that. The uniqueness of the tune is the same. Maniratnam wanted me to write lyrics which will chill out . Initially, I wrote the lyrics like , " Idhu Kashmirama, Ingu Kargalama. Yendhan Kovil Pura, indha kulir thangumaaa". The song was considered to be excellent. Rahman liked it, and Maniratnam also praised it. After everyone praised, Maniratnam told, that for this tune, the lyrics cannot become more better. But, lets not have it like this. I asked, " Why ?". Maniratnam replied, " I am going to show Kashmir on the screen. Why are you also reinstating on Kashmir by way of the lyrics. ?. Suppose, I lose the opportunity to shoot the scenes in Kashmir, and take it in Ooty, then wont it be a disgrace if the lyrics state that its Kashmir ? . Hence, Pls write it in such a manner, that the lyrics are written in such a way, that no one knows, where its is shot from. I got mesmerised, when I wrote the lyrics for the song, " Ilaya Nila poyigirudhu ( Illaarayaja 's composition ) ". I have wondered myself, if Tamil Language could be handled in such a fashion. Maniratnam wanted such a song for this situation. Then came, Pudhu vellai Mazhai Ingu poyigindradhu... After the song was picturised, could I realise, the justification behind Maniratnam asking me for such lyrics.
