"You have an ear for music. Why don't you compose for your next?" these words from music maestro A.R. Rahman inspired director turned actor S.J. Suryah to compose the music for his next film, 'Isai'.

Apparently the new actor also wants Rahman to sing his introduction song in this flick. The film has Suryah and debutant Savitri in the lead roles.

The shooting will begin next month, and will be shot extensively in Chennai, and deep forests in Kerala and Karnataka.

We hope all goes well for the actor-director and now music composer too.
