Mysskin turns music director for his brother GR Adithya’s film, Devil

Mysskin, who proved his mettle as a director, producer, singer and actor, has now turned music director for Devil. Helmed by Mysskin's brother, GR Adithya, who had earlier directed Savarakathi, in 2018, this film also stars Poorna, Adith Arun, and Subhashree Rayaguru, and Mysskin himself in key roles.

Karthik Muthukumar, who earlier worked on Maara and Kuthiraivaal, is handling the cinematography for Devil, which has S Ilaiyaraaja as the editor.

According to a report published by Cinema Express, Devil will feature four songs, which Mysskin has already completed composing. The songs are expected to be released soon.

In several interviews, Mysskin has spoken about his love for music, and how Ilaiyaraaja serves as his all-time inspiration.

Meanwhile, Mysskin is awaiting the release of Pisasu 2 and is speculated to play the villain in Sivakarthikeyan's next that will be helmed by Mandela-fame Madonne Ashwin.

In an interview with the Hindu, Mysskin said, "People ask me why I make only dark movies. I like to make psychological films as I read a lot of psychological literature. While writing, I try to travel into a character’s psyche—understand the motivations of the character. How does a worthless man get transformed into a police officer when wearing khaki? Why does a man become a criminal when he fails to become a police officer? These motivations interest me. I can’t help it if they’re dark."

Speaking about what according to him is a successful film, Mysskin added that even if a film has one beautiful compassionate scene, he's floored. "The rest of the 59 scenes don’t matter to me. I will go hug the filmmaker. When a movie called Vengayam was released, I was impressed with how raw it was. The maker didn’t have sophistication or craftiness but it was a genuine effort. He pawned his house for Rs 80 lakh to make it. So, it doesn’t matter if the film was a hit or a flop!"
