Contrary to regular industry practice, the composer of the film came aboard only after the whole film was edited and ready for a preliminary viewing. Being a huge fan of Ilaiyaraaja, Julian couldn’t think of anyone else for the music, but being his first feature film that was made on an innovative methodology, he himself wasn’t sure about the outcome. So, he wanted to complete the film in the first place. Once he saw the finished product, he was confident enough to approach the legendary composer and made a trip to India to meet Ilaiyaraaja through his musical co-ordinator Subbiah. The meeting was successful and Ilaiyaraaja happily consented to support the project, despite its budgetary constraints The entire background score was completed within 6 days including recording and technical post-production. Apart from BGM, there are two songs as well in the film. Being an English film, the composer was keen in getting native western voices. After advertising online in Australia, Rachael Leahcar, the South Australian singer was chosen to render her voice for the first ever song composed by Ilaiyaraaja for an English film.[10] The background tracks were recorded in Prasad Studios, Chennai and the voice was recorded and mixed in Australia.
