MADHAVAN KARKY ABOUT 'ASKKU LASKA'

Lyricist Madhan Karky often called the lyrics engineer has been flooded with congratulatory messages for the number Asku Laska in the film Nanban..

He was quoted saying, “I wrote the song by expressing the word ‘love’ in 16 languages (including Turkish, Slovak and Chinese). The concept was to make the song a bouquet of love. Director Shankar and I decided to go for this out-of-the-box idea to make it stand out from other romantic songs.”

The lyrics engineering aspect of the song lies in how he strung together the words from different language to match the tune.

By inputting the requirements according to the tune, in terms of rhyme and so on, he was able to pick and choose the words (he had words from over 40 languages) that fit the tune.

Nanban directed by Shankar, stars Vijay,Jiiva, Srikanth in prominent roles.. With muisc scored by Harris Jayaraj the film is all set for release on January 12th,2012.
