Nanban’ songs in London


Nothing can stop the run of ‘Nanban’ now. Shankar has completed the first schedule of shooting for the film in Ooty last week and next, he is flying to London with the music director Harris Jayaraj.

Both are set to return only after composing all the four songs required for the film. Buzz says Harris has already delivered one of the five songs. That song is said to be the ‘All Iz Well’ version and it is also said that this number will be an adaptation of the Hindi original tuned by Shantanu Moitra.

All the other four songs will be original scores from Harris. Shankar has already worked magic with Harris Jayaraj in ‘Aanniyan’ before. Everyone hopes the music of ‘Nanban’ will also be as timeless as the concept of the film.
