Music has always been a passion for Vishnu Sivasankar who recently worked for Bhagavan Dasante Ramarajyam, a movie that spoke strongly about the hate politics in the “new India”.
This is the second film for the musician who debuted with Poomaram (2018). The political satire narrates the story of a village against the backdrop of a music drama.
About his musical training, Vishnu Sivasankar says, “I wanted to study rooted music and hence I learnt vocals in Carnatic Indian Classical and Piano in Western Classical.”
“There is a particular genre known as funk and I wanted to make it retro funky. Though the story is based in a village in Palakkad, the music has contemporary aspects,” he explains.
Visnhu is planning to move to Chennai to learn more about music. “In Chennai, there are more opportunities for independent musicians. I want to explore music,” he signed off.
