GV Prakash Kumar Reportedly Replaces Ilaiyaraaja as Composer for Pocket Novel
Music composer GV Prakash Kumar has reportedly replaced veteran Ilaiyaraaja for director Thiagarajan Kumararaja's upcoming film Pocket Novel, starring Vijay Sethupathi, Raj B. Shetty, and Malavika Mohanan. The change became apparent after Ilaiyaraaja's name was absent from the film's announcement marking the completion of shooting. While industry sources confirm GV Prakash's involvement, the reasons for Ilaiyaraaja's exit remain unclear, and no official statement has been issued by the filmmakers or composer.
