Academy Award winner A R Rahman is the composer as well as the Music Director and has also worked on the background score of the film.

Confirming the same, Ashok Parwani, Head South, Sony Music Entertainment said, “We are very happy to be associated with such a magnificent project and to work with Mani Sir. We go along way with A R Rahman and it is our 3rd project with him this year. We are confident music enthusiasts will appreciate the music as much as the film.”
