Sakala,

AFAIK, the difference of opinion regarding 'Indian' song was because the choice of singer for 'Pachaikkiligal'. Shankar and KH wanted KH to sing that number while ARR wanted KJY. That caused the rift was what I was told. There was a discussion in ARRYG reg this long back.

Any big hero has access to the film's songs and why should Kamal go and ask ARR to play the songs?
