*Here is my translation of the Manorama article* One early morning at 5 AM....An autorickshaw is heading towards Rajendra Colony located at Saligramam, Chennai. The passenger is Malayalam composer Ouseppachan, carrying his violin. And the driver? None other than A R Rahman. How did this happen?
Ouseppachan is talking about the times he and ARR worked together at ARR's room in Swamiyarmadam. ARR prefers to work at night. So they both get immersed in the world of music and go on like that until the milkman rings in the morning which is like their wakeup call. Back then ARR used to own a private autorickshaw. It was in this auto that he took Ouseppachan to his studio. Ouseppachan's acquaintance with ARR can be traced back to the 80s. ARR was in the orchestra for the song "Devadoothar Paadi" from the movie Kathodu Kathoram which was Ouseppachan's debut. ARR was only about 15 at that time and yet his mixing and editing would enhance the songs even beyond the composer's vision. Ouseppachan believes this is why ARR became the favorite of all composers at that time. He doesn't distinctly remember when he met ARR for the first time. He remembers the band comprising of ARR, Shivamani (drums), John Antony (guitar) and also a Negro. The band quickly became popular then. ARR worked with Ouseppachan in over 25 movies including Ulladakkam (* Maayatha*), Witness (*Poovinu, Thumbamellam*), Thoovalsparsham (*Sugandham*) etc.. Even after ARR became popular, he used to invite Ouseppachan to play violin for some of his hit songs. ARR and Ouseppachan worked on an album called Welcome 1990. The composition was done on ARR's dad RK Shekhar's harmonium, which Ouseppachan believes is inaccessible to anyone today as ARR keeps it as a prized treasure. Not many people know that Ouseppachan was part of the violin group that worked in Slumdog Millionaire. The composition supposedly happened years back.
