Sharing the great news with this project, Sam CS says, “Soon after the release of Vikram Vedha, I was approached to compose background score for many movies including Bollywood projects. But I didn’t have faith in such things, where I wanted to give my complete work and not on just BGM. But at this point of time came the narration of Odiyan. This impressed me vividly and gave more ideation to give different music by the time of narration itself. The film belongs to be a specific time backdrops and is a thriller, which has lots of prominence for music. Apparently, we have made use of some ancient instruments like 6-ft long Bamboo one, which is played by an only old lady in Kerala.”
