Sarvam Thaala Mayam (soundtrack)

Rahman began composing for the film in early 2016 and by May it was revealed that his two songs had been completed.[2] As the film was "music-based", Menon required the songs to be completed before production began and by November 2016, Rahman had finished composing nine songs for that film and composed parts of the background score.[3][4] The lyrics were written by Madhan Karky, Arunraja Kamaraj and the late Na. Muthukumar, who worked in the film before his death in August 2016.[5]

The official track list of songs was released long before the audio release by A. R. Rahman, in his Twitter page, on 18 November 2018.[6][7]

A.R. Rahman used many different instruments for this soundtrack. In "A Journey of Peter", Peter employed instruments from North Rajasthan and the Northeast.[8] These musical instruments are part of the background score. Rahman and his ensemble Qutub-E-Kripa adopted Indian Regional music and Carnatic music.[9] Rahman also used a western African musical instrument called Kora. It is a 21 string lute-bridge-harp extensively used in Africa.[10]
