The film score and the soundtrack were composed by film composer Ilaiyaraaja's youngest son, Yuvan Shankar Raja, who made his debut in this film. T. Siva, the producer of the film, after hearing some of Yuvan Shankar Raja's tunes, asked him to compose a trailer music and after being impressed of it, gave Yuvan Shankar the assignment to compose the entire film score including a soundtrack for that film.[2] Yuvan Shankar Raja was 16 at the time of the release and one of the youngest composers ever in the industry.[3] The soundtrack, released in late 1996, features 7 tracks.
