Madhan Karky, who is currently one of the leading lyricists in the industry, made his entry into cinema with Kandean Kadhalai, in 2009. In his career spanning just a few years, he has penned lyrics for super hit songs like 'Irumbile Oru Idhayam' (Enthiran), 'Ennamo Aedho' (Ko), 'Enthan Kanmunne' (Nanban), 'Azhaipaya Azhaipaya' (Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi) and 'Google Google' (Thuppaki), to name a few. Now, he has been roped in by SJ Suryah to be the lyricist for his upcoming film Isai. The director was so impressed after reading the lyrics, that he paid more than the agreed amount to the young lyricist. Madhan Karky took to his micro-blogging site to thank the director and mentioned that SJ Suryah is the first ever person to have done so. Madhan Karky is the son of renowned lyricist and poet Vairamuthu.
