== Development ==
Before the film's release, Rahman had asked Ravikumar whether the soundtrack could be released in August 1999. Ravikumar informed Rahman that he had spoken to the press about the completion of the film's making, and that Rahman would be blamed if the film had a delayed release. As a result, Rahman did a live re-recording of both the soundtrack and score to finish them on time.{{Sfn|Mathai|2009|page=181}}

The credits for the song "Vetri Kodi Kattu", which was sung by [[Palakkad Sreeram]], initially went to [[Malaysia Vasudevan]], who publicly stated that the credits for the song were attributed to [[Palakkad Sreeram|Sreeram]] and not to him. Rahman requested the company who manufactured the audio cassettes to make the change.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/musical-notes/article2252968.ece|title=Musical notes|work=The Hindu|author=K.

Rajini and Ravikumar preferred Srinivas's version "as it was more majestic".<ref name="toi">{{Cite web |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/movie-milestone-20-years-of-rajinikanths-padayappa/articleshow/68795621.cms |title=Movie Milestone: 20 years of Rajinikanth's Padayappa |last=Suganth |first=M. |date=2019-04-10 |website=[[Times of India]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190410134111/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/movie-milestone-20-years-of-rajinikanths-padayappa/articleshow/68795621.cms |archive-date=2019-04-10 |access-date=2019-04-10 |url-status=live }}</ref> The song "Minsara Kanna" is based on the ''[[Vasantha (raga)|Vasantha]]'' [[raga]],<ref name = "Charulatha">{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/music/a-ragas-journey-hopeful-festive-vibrant-vasantha/article2780440.ece|title=A Raga’s Journey — Hopeful, festive, vibrant Vasantha|work=The Hindu|author=Mani, Charulatha|author-link=Charulatha Mani|date=6 January 2012|access-date=19 December 2014}}</ref> while "Vetri Kodi Kattu" is based on the ''[[Keeravani]]'' raga.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/music/harmonious-symmetry/article4657111.ece|title=Harmonious symmetry|work=The Hindu|author=Mani, Charulatha|date=26 April 2013|access-date=19 December 2014}}</ref>
