There are few common connections between Shankar – Vikram’s I and AR Murugadoss – Vijay’s Kaththi. Madhan Karky, you would say as he is the most popular figure who is associated with both movies. If you ponder for sometime, you are most likely to come up with Anirudh, who is the music composer of Kaththi and also has sung a song for AR Rahman in I. But, an experienced technician, a national award winner who is working in both Kaththi and I you are most likely to miss out is ace sound engineer A.S. Lakshmi Narayanan.
Lakshmi Narayanan is a Mani Ratnam’s regular Sound Engineer in most of his films including Aayutha Ezhuthu, Uyire, Kannathil Muthamittal, Iruvar, Bombay etc. His stellar work in Kannathil Muthamittal fetched him his first national award. He has also worked in Vijay’s Jilla, Thupakki, Ajith’s Arrambam, Amarkalam, Shankar’s Anniyan, Indian, Mudhalvan etc.
