Interesting facts

Sangamam (transl. Confluence) is a 1999 Indian Tamil-language romantic musical dance film co written and directed by Suresh Krissna and produced by V. Natarajan of Pyramid Films. The film stars Rahman and newcomer Vindhya, with Manivannan, Vijayakumar, Radha Ravi, and Vadivelu playing supporting roles. The film's music was composed by A. R. Rahman, while S. Saravanan handled the cinematography. The film was released on 16 July 1999 and became a financial failure, but won the National Film Award for Best Lyrics (Vairamuthu) and four Tamil Nadu State Film Awards.

Production

V. Natarajan launched a film to be directed by Suresh Krissna and A. R. Rahman was signed on to compose the music for the film in early 1998, while he was also working with the producer Pyramid Natarajan in Rhythm and Udhaya. In an interview in August 1998, Rahman revealed that he was working on "a very small budget movie called Sangamam which is based on classical and folk dance".

During production it was reported that the film would be a remake of the 1968 film Thillana Mohanambal, but this was subsequently found to be untrue. The film was briefly delayed in 1999 as A. R. Rahman was too busy to complete the background score for the film, with Natarajan initially refusing to pay him, causing further delays for the producer's next venture, Rhythm.
