Maestro Ilaiyaraaja and director Gautham Vasudev Menon are currently in London, recording songs for their forthcoming film Yeto Vellipyoindhi Manasu, which has Naani and Samantha in lead roles.

According to sources, a couple of songs were recently recorded at a popular studio in the United Kingdom. 'London based musicians and technicians were stunned with Illayaraja's compositions,' sources say.

The film is a trilingual and its title in Tamil is Neethane En Ponvasantham. Jiiva is replacing Nani in the Kollywood version. While the Hindi version has Aditya Roy Kapoor as the protagonist. Interestingly, Samantha is the heroine of all the three versions.

Gautham, for the first time in his decade-old career, has joined hands with Illayaraja. The director is so thrilled about working with the maestro.
