Summary
- GV Prakash composed music for 'Youth' without salary due to friendship.
- He launched his own music label when audio rights were difficult to sell.
- Personal relationships are sometimes more important than money, he stated.
Music composer and actor GV Prakash recently shared why he composed music for the film 'Youth' without receiving a salary. He explained that his close friendship and respect for director Ken Karunas were the sole reasons for this decision. Prakash noted that Karunas had previously acted in his film 'Darling,' fostering a strong bond.
The composer also detailed his experience with the film's audio rights. Facing challenges in selling the songs due to the lead actor being a newcomer, GV Prakash decided to launch his own music label. This initiative allowed him to release the music independently, and the songs eventually became hits, attracting significantly higher offers from companies that had initially undervalued them.
