Found a database source .  This source is 90% not about him: Tharai Thappattai, or Thaarai Thappattai is a 2016 Tamil melodic art film inscribed, shaped and led by Bala.  The film marks Sasikumar and Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar in the prominent roles, while Ilaiyaraaja creates the picture's tune based on Karakattam.  This flick also materializes to be Ilaiyaraaja's 1000th movie.  The film began creation in 2013 and publicized on 14 January 2016.Ilaiyaraaja won the Countrywide Picture Prize for Best Contextual Score at the 63rd National Picture Rewards.  In one of his pictures Sannasi (M. Sasikumar), a character is a gifted folk performer and nadaswaram specialist in a town living with his dad Samipulavan (G. M. Kumar).  He also has discontinued talking with his lad because of the same logic.  Sooravalli (VaralaxmiSarathkumar) is Sannasi's companion who dears Sannasi very much and articulates her love frequently for which Sannasi doesn't respond.  Both Sannasi and Sooravalliare in the identical group of dancers who go to places for performance.  A harmlessly dressed Karuppaiah (R. K. Suresh) often interjects the fellow players in the group they go, to know where the next dance programme would occur.  One day Sannasi gets a telephone ring from a group of men in a cabin nearby.  They pay him a quantity to book his company for a dance programme in a shrine in Andaman Nicobar Islands.  The band goes to Andaman by travelers, stays in the in provided by the managers and presents Karagattam in a sanctuary.  The men who prearranged the dance liked the women ballerinas and asked Sannasi to show them the girls implicitly asking for sex.  Sannasi without saying any word takes the managers to the area where the lady dancers are residing and say to them that he has presented the girls as per their demand.  In November 2016, it stated that Vikram Prabhu had settled terms to labor on a picture titled Pakka led by novice Surya.  Nikki Galrani contracted on to play the leading lady role in January 2017 and toiled on the flick alongside her obligations in Neruppu Da (2017), which also performed her together with Vikram Prabhu.  The scheme became Nikki Galrani's 25thpicture, and the director publicized that she would depict a Rajinikanth fan.  Director Surya exposed Pakka would be a complete profitable entertainer which set in contradiction of a rural background, and also confirmed that the squad had signed on performers Sathish, Soori, and Anandaraj for supporting roles.  To save the article, need to add more sources like an interview from The Hindu .  Did he win an award for the taut thriller Sivi ?  If so, please add it.  Source found in WP:BEFORE (went through every one of his film's reviews): [27] , [28] .  Is it enough (passing mentions)?  These sources mention his editing but not his name: [29] , [30] , [31] .

Seems to meet fairly this criterion for Notability of People (Creative professionals): "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series)".  His creative input to various notable films is sourced and deemed notable. - My, oh my!  (Mushy Yank) 17:14, 26 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Mushy Yank : Comment But how is a passing mention a "primary subject" of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews?  DareshMohan ( talk ) 17:29, 26 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] From what I understand, the films he worked on need to have been subject of such coverage and it is obviously the case with various films in his filmography, but even those contributions themselves are sourced; your example shows that for one particular film.  But take any other you like, Sivi , Kaadhal , for example, as it is currently in the page, they're object of such coverage and his contributions to them is even sourced as notable/important.  - My, oh my!
