so after Slrvaraghavan and YSR, Goutham parts way with HJ
End of an era - Harris and Goutham to work together no more
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, November 13, 2008]
Acclaimed director Goutham Menon and music composer Harris Jayaraj made their debut in 'Minnale' which starred Madhavan and Reema Sen. They went on to render hits in 'Khaakka Khaakha', 'Pachaikili Muthucharam', 'Vettaiyadu Vilayadu' and the to-be released 'Varanam Aayiram'.
Now the duo has split. Without divulging any reasons for their break up, Harris Jayaraj said, 'we are forced to take the decision. There is no ill-feeling between us. I wish him all the best in all his future endeavors'.
It may be noted that AR Rahman is composing music for Goutham Menon's next film 'Chennaiyul Oru Mazhaikalam'.
Recently, another duo Selvaraghavan and music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja, who had worked together in many films together, parted ways.
Meanwhile Harris Jayaraj has sent out a letter to the media confirming the break-up.
Here's the transcript of Harris Jayaraj's letter to the media….
Praise The Lord
Dear Sirs,
Myself and Gowtham Menon debuted together in 2001. Right from Minnalae, Khaaka Khaaka, Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu, patchaikili muthucharam and now Vaaranam Aayiram has been well received and appreciated by the mass and media.
Apart from good films these films helped to explore my versatility and showcased my talent to the world and kept me where I am today. By the grace of god we have given some of the best musical blockbusters and never thought our combination would create such magic when we started our career and it still surprises us even after 8 years.... apart from others, his movies have played a vital role so far.
I have a very good respect for Mr. Gowtham menon and in return he has reciprocated the same. But now, things have gone sour that it's better for us to part ways as good friends leaving behind some beautiful memories. With a heavy heart I have to take this decision on behalf of us. I know this might disappoint my fans, music lovers and well wishers in the industry. But, it's best for us to leave it at this, since I always believed that to create soul stirring music, the bond between a Music composer and the director is vital.
Once it's lost, it is difficult to get back. So I take this opportunity to thank Gowtham Menon, our team, media and my fans who made the music of ‘Vaaranam Aayiram a memorable album in the history of Tamil film music and I wish him all the best.
Best Regards,
Harris Jayaraj

Harris Jayaraj splits with Gautham!
By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 13 November , 2008, 16:55
In a shocking development, noted music composer Harris Jayaraj has announced his split with director Gautham Vasudev Menon!
Harris, through his PRO Nikhil Murugan has issued a statement saying that he is parting ways with Gautham.
Gautham and Harris debuted together in the 2001 romantic musical Minnale, which had outstanding music score. The pair established themselves as one of the most popular director-music director combination with foot tapping music in films like- Khakka Khakka, Vettayadu Vilayadu, Pachaikili Muthucharam and their latest Vaaranam Aayiram.
Now, Harris in his statement issued to the press says-" I have a very good respect for Mr. Gowtham Menon and in return he has reciprocated the same. But now, things have gone sour that it's better for us to part ways as good friends leaving behind some beautiful memories with a heavy heart. I have to take this decision on behalf of us. I know this might disappoint my fans, music lovers and well wishers in the industry. It's best for us to leave it at this, since I always believed that to create soul stirring music, the bond between a Music composer and the director is vital. Once it's lost, it is difficult to get back".
It could not have come at a worst time, on the day before the release of Vaaranam Aayiram! Harris told sify.com: " What will one do, if a marriage goes bad? You have to split! Anyway I wish him all the best." Harris said that he will not be attending today's (Nov 13) red carpet premiere of the film, as he has a recording!

If they don't do movies together, we know they've split. Why turn it into a big divorce drama?
Maybe GM confronted him about his inspirations/ tune lifting? :oops2:
Big time sabotage...Athuvum perfect time (one day before the release of VA)Quote:

Ow yeah, just before the release of VA!
But this could be positive promotion for the film too, gets more people talking about it!
If HJ really did send this letter, then thats quite shallow of him. :|

:roll: :huh:
I don't think A R Rahmaan will work with Gautham, even if the later wants to. Remember rahmaan's words with Gautham before accepting CMOK.
GM > intha jackpot GVP kku pogumnnu naan nenaikiraen. :wink: Just a guess though :)
I too feel the same...'Divorced' directors normally find solace in GVP :lol:Quote:

Any kAraNams known for the split?
In any case, it would be interesting to see if GM works with IR for a movie :wink:

i guess pachaikili muthu charam being the main reason...coz in the vaaranam aayiram release function .gautham mentioned that when he wanted to do Pkmc harris strongly objected him doing that..but gautham still made the movie...and the movie bombed... so he was like i didnt take my best friends advice..

guess Gautham really liked the way ARR worked, and ofcource his music, and he told this to Harris, and harris wasnt pleased with this, thus he decided this???
