I used to design cover pages and weeklies there. Later, I joined as an artist in a Telugu leading daily and moved to the art department in the same company. When did you begin your journey in the industry?

This is how my career in the design field started. After completing my studies, I applied for a job in an advertising company and I got it. Then, more and more I found myself wanting to focus on poster design. So, I used to draw their symbols on the banners and walls of the college. Whenever my college management conducted elections, my friends approached me and asked my help to promote their symbol. I used to design different titles on my notebooks during my college days. The entire process will be done depending on the progress of a film. The title logo should be creative and convey the theme of the film because a poster is an effective way to draw the attention of the people. As a designer, we first design five to six varieties to suit the genre. But the album is commercially packaged in-front, with distinctive ARR tracks and non-typical Telugu tracks in it.After deciding on the title of a film, filmmakers approach a publicity designer to design the logo of the title. But it does has its goods ample enough to boast off. Komaram Puli is an album where ARR once again experimenting with a lot. Though there are portions reminiscent of O Palanhare and Anbendra Mazhaiyile and Chinna Thai Aval, the track is highly harmonious and serene with 3 beautiful singers (K S Chitra, Madhusree & Harini) crooning with two stand-outs, (1) Chitra humming in betweenвЂ¦ (2) the mellow and subtle tabla beats from second interlude to the last. Rahman kind of brings Yaar mila tha in between, but he proficiently uses the sounds to great effect Namakame bring back strong memories of haunting Bombay theme and forms the base, while the tune is completely different. Shreya does more than justice to this track, singing both with zing and grace. Period Dochey starts like a remix of Gangsta Blues from Slumdog Millionaire, but once Shreya starts grooving, to my bewilderment the song is more melodious than how it began, still with beats and lot of funky sounds added to it. The ending was good, and at times I felt a resemblance of chorus in the Taj Mahal (One Love) song, though the song will deliver the goods Maham maye, despite being complete fun and peppy track in nature, to me it is weakest track in the album, though it has good vocals from Javed Ali and Suchitra.

Brilliant Maaralente is a well-orchestrated track with a brilliant and uplifting singing by ARR himself, but to me, it falls short in its grandeur because the track does not have any significant brilliance apart from ARR singing. But Rahman here beautifies the track by forming a semi-classical base around the tune and some really good interludes.

Massy Intro track Amma Thale starts of with synth sounds and beats, bringing an impression of another techno track, but the techno ends there and Shweta Mohan takes off rather surprisingly as she flows through the lyrics as if they were some gibberish words, and Naresh Iyer joins the fun in an usual way and just adds another layer to it. Vijay is one lucky singer to get such nice songs from A R Rahman. Vijay Prakash scores much better, keeping along with the beats and tempo and transcending between the scales very effectively. Though no one has a clue what Tanvi sings throughout, but still does her job to a T. Power Star is that highly exhilarating and innervate track with lots of beats and funky sounds infused in it.
