His interest in pop music spurred him to compose for two albums, "Oru Parvai" and "Aalaiyin Karangal" in Paris, both of which proved to be illuminating. "Moongil Nila", album-extraordinaire and Niru's 3rd masterpiece encapsulated the vocal genius of [[P. Unnikrishnan]], a good friend of Niru's, [[Hariharan (singer)|Hariharan]], Srinivas, Anuradha Sriram, Karthik and [[Shankar Mahadevan]]. Celebrated lyricists Vairamuthu, Kapilan, Paa Vijay, Palanibharathi and Arivumathi were also able to successfully echo Niru's thoughts to great effect.
