Soumya is planning to make a new approach in case of Music of the movie, she said that “I am on the lookout for youngsters, who might have made their own, quality music and have shied away from releasing them. Most of us grew up listening to evergreen numbers by our masters like Raveendran and I wish I could find new musicians, who have a similar spark in them and use them in my film.” Soumya’s award-winning documentary ‘Chembai My discovery of a legend’ began as a journey by herself to watch her favorite singer, Dr. K.J. Yesudas, perform live at a concert in the village of Chembai, in Palakkad district of Kerala which led the filmmaker to new personal discoveries. This film is a collection of anecdotes recollected by the disciples of Chembai, an attempt made by the filmmaker to learn about the man who has been the key inspiration behind the Chembai Parthasarathy Music Festival that has been going on for over 100 years now.
