Rahman, in an interview with
The New Indian Express said it was "essential to venture beyond my comfort zone" and attributed that the "emerging talents bring a fresh perspective to the table. They possess a striking vision and an innovative approach to storytelling that invigorates me", calling it a "liberating feeling" to venture into new territory rather than continue with the familiar. In May 2023, Vadivelu recorded a song. The song, later titled "Raasa Kannu", was released as a single on 19 May. Vadivelu also performed the song at the film's audio launch. Mari noted that Rahman had expected the music to be on the lines of
Kizhakku Cheemayile (1993); however he asked him for a song that sounds similar to
Bob Marley's "
Zion Train", which resulted in him composing the Westernised number "Jigu Jigu Rail". Mari said he wanted even non-Indians to watch and understand the film, and felt an effective tool when taking local stories to the world is music. == Release ==
