I am not sure why that is not posible, I happened to post a similar question to Chinmayi on her blog and this is what she had to say. I am pasting it as it was in her blog and i hope i can do that !
My question: Chinmayee, Watched the VTV audio launch and at times - i felt that the unplugged version sounds as stunning as the album version itself. i was trying to play both side by side to see how different they were. I think unplugged version sounds more like "the mood" of the lyrics. The tune feels pure there ! Do you think you can do an actual recording of the unplugged version and release it. I'd for sure pay for it ! and i know millions of maniacs like me would do the same. Just the Piano, guitar and the vocals ! Praying for this to happen ! Chinmayi;s response ! "Sreekrishnan: True we had a great time putting it together. I am not sure if that would release though I believe Rahman sir said something like that should happen. But not sure if it would come to existence. " If we here express interest, i am sure they can officially release !! Not a Bad idea anyways ! Lets hope it happens !
