National Award Winning Seenu Ramasamy has apparently lashed out against A.R.Rahman and Harris Jayaraj at the Thegidi audio launch. The Director who has delivered movies like Thenmerku Paruvakatru and Neer Paravai spoke at the launch stating "MSV used to work on MGR's films, but at the same time, he also used to compose for small-budget films. Ilaiyaraaja, too, did the same."

Seenu Ramasamy went on to add that however today an A.R.Rahman or a Harris Jayaraj do not take up small budget films as their salary is equal and sometimes bigger than the entire budget of these films."When a big-name music director composes for a small film, it gets noticed by the audience, who will consider watching it. But are today's music directors like that," he questioned.

He added, "Today, small-budget films give importance to the script, and it's in these films that you can have good music. I see this habit of not taking up a project because of its budget as being dishonest to art."
