Enjoy the story of Peter and his journey into the world of classical music.#sarvamthalamayam
Sarvam Thaala Mayam includes one interesting in the form of renowned lyricist Na. Muthukumar penning his final song before he passed away in 2016.
Remembering the legendary Na. Muthukumar on his birth anniversary. Team #SarvamThaalaMayam has the good fortune of having the last song penned by him in the music album. Eternal lyrics & mortal writers. Rest in peace.

The upcoming musical will also include G. V. Prakash himself singing the opening song said to be a "thara local" number on the lines of A. R. Rahman's smash hit, 'Oorvasi..' from Kadhalan in 1994, which the composer turned actor has described will be "a youth anthem".

It must be noted GV Prakash will be seen playing a character named Peter, who incidentally happens to be an ardent and hardcore 'Thalapathy' Vijay fan in the film.
Furthermore, it is said director Rajiv Menon has live sync-sound technology in the film, which will not require the actors to dub for their portions - a technology utilized by Kamal Haasan in Hey Ram, Mani Ratnam in Aayudha Ezhuthu and O Kadhal Kanmani and the Bollywood blockbuster, Lagaan, starring Aamir Khan to name a few.
