Only Rahman's music has got this kind of an opening before. After receiving calls from distributors and theatre owners, the makers eventually sent the entire song. However, the audience were dissatisfied with the shortened version of the song and forced theatre owners to rewind the song and play it again. Initially, a small footage featuring Vikram and Kiran was sent to the cinemas for screening during the end credits. The film had been completed by then and the additional track was featured during the closing credits. According to Vikram, the song was recorded and filmed the same morning, and was added to the soundtrack album a month after its initial release. Vikram, having already worked as a voice artist and singer, offered to sing his version of the song "O Podu" following the song's success, for which the producers agreed. In an interview with The Hindu, Vairamuthu revealed that the track "Naattu Katta" was based on a folk song. The lyrics of "Deewana", sung by Sadhana Sargam, had some Hindi words as it was picturised on the heroine, a typical Marwari woman from Sowcarpet for whom Hindi comes naturally.
For the song, Vikram performed " savu koothu", a type of funeral dance common in Tamil Nadu. The track, picturised on Rani and Vikram and choreographed by Ashok Raja, was sung by Anuradha Sriram. The song was conceived by AVM as a way of reaching out to the masses. On the director's insistence, the term was then incorporated into and mixed with the title song, resulting in the item number "O Podu". When the director wanted a catchphrase for a song, Vairamuthu suggested using the term and building on it. "O Podu" was a popular expression among college students in Tamil Nadu. At the inaugural ceremony of International Tamil Film Awards held in Malaysia, Anuradha Sriram received ITFA Award for Best Female Playback Singer. Bharadwaj earned his first Filmfare Award for Best Music Director, along with Anuradha Sriram who received Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer – Tamil. The soundtrack fetched two Filmfare Awards and two Cinema Express Awards. The songs were well received by the audience and the track "O Podu", in particular, was a hit. An eighth track the alternate version of the song "O Podu" released, post the film's release. The album features seven tracks five songs and two alternate versions of the song. Since making his entry into Tamil films with Saran's directorial debut Kaadhal Mannan, he has scored the music for most films directed by Saran. Gemini is the soundtrack album for the 2002 Tamil film of the same name directed by Saran and features music composed by Bharadwaj with lyrics by Vairamuthu.
