Sangamam

Sangamam Tamil is a 1999 Tamil musical romance film directed by Suresh Krishna and produced by V. Natarajan of Pyramid Films. The film featured Rahman and a newcomer Vindhya in the lead roles with Manivannan, Vijayakumar and Radharavi playing other important roles. The films music was composed by A. R. Rahman, while Saravanan handled the cinematography. The film was released in 1999 but despite of the awardwinning soundtracks and rave reviews, the film became a financial failure.

V. Natarajan launched a film to be directed by Suresh Krishna and A. R. Rahman was signed on to compose the music for the film in early 1998, while he was also working with the producer Natarajan in Rhythm and Udhaya. In an interview in August 1998, A. R. Rahman revealed that he was working on a very small budget movie called Sangamam which is based on classical and folk dance. The film would feature his namesake and brotherinlaw, Malayalam actor Rahman in the lead role with newcomer Vindhya roped in to play the lead female role.During production it was reported that the film would be a remake of the 1968 film Thillaanaa Mohanambal which starred Sivaji Ganesan and Padmini, but this was subsequently found to be untrue. The film was briefly delayed in 1999 as A. R. Rahman was too busy to complete the background score for the film, with producer V. Natarajan initially refusing to pay him, causing further delays for the producers next venture, Rhythm. ........
