Talking to the media about the experience of working on the film, actor and music director G V Prakash said that he thoroughly enjoyed working on the project. “Both are different industries and therefore, one cannot compare. The primary difference I found was that they use Live sound and therefore, no prompting is possible when one delivers lines.”
The actor-composer, did not, however, have any scenes with Napoleon. He said, “I met Napoleon sir, and visited his home in Nashville.” The actor however clarified that he had only acted in Trap City and that he hadn’t scored its music. On the home front, G V Prakash said his next film will be Vasantabalan’s Jail for which he is composing the music.
