Kailas Menon

ETimes caught up with the young and talented Malayalam film music composer Kailas Menon.

Speaking further about the songs in 'Dear Vaappi', Kailas shares, “As the story of the film is set in Malabar, one of the songs in the movie has a Malabar song touch to it. The next one is a Sufi-style song followed by a very innocent ‘Girly Girly’ style song. The movie also has a very motivational track. Overall ‘Dear Vaappi’ audio album will be a musical treat as it's filled with songs of different styles.”

‘Vaashi’ is an upcoming film directed by Vishnu G Raghav and actors Tovino Thomas and Keerthy Suresh will be playing prominent lead roles in the film.

Popular Malayalam music director Kailas Menon’s father Dr. AR Ramachandra Menon passed away. He was 71.

Previously in an exclusive interview with ETimes, the music composer Kailas Menon revealed that the story of ‘Dear Vaappi’ is set in Malabar and he will be composing 5 different songs in the movie. He also exclusively said that one of the songs in the film has a Malabar touch to it and another one is a Sufi-style song. Kailas Menon recently composed the music for the Asif Ali starrer political thriller ‘Kotthu’ which was directed by Sibi Malayil.

Actor Tovino Thomas is on cloud nine with all the praises that he got from playing the ‘Nadan- Superhero’ in his recently released movie ‘Minnal Murali’ directed by Basil Joseph.

The makers of ‘Dear Vaappi’ unveiled the foot-tapping number ‘Pennenthoru Pennanu’ and the song is now making the rounds on social media. Kailas Menon’s music composing brilliance is evident all over in the song and the beautifully written lyrics are penned by Manu Manith.
