Mr X is probably the most talked about person in the Tamil film industry right now. The identity of the ENPT music composer is not known yet, a shrewd marketing tactic by the film’s director Gautham Menon.

At a time when the popular response for the two songs from the film – Maruvaarthai and the recently released Naan Pizhaippeno, is at an all-time high, the composer took to Twitter to talk with the fans.
First things first, the music composer talked about the mood of ‘Naan Pizhaippeno‘.
I see it more of a sound when you get attracted to a person and see sparkles all around you. It’s that brief initial period of romance. https://t.co/PTgIkGgfsY

With the sleuths out in full force, Mr X had to fend off questions about his identity.
I don’t remember posing for a picture like that. https://t.co/DBZ2avkJ93

The composer revealed that he looked for exciting work, and not exciting colleagues. Makes sense.
More than a name, I look for work that’s exciting to me as a process. https://t.co/q23q62LYTC

…and also talked about working process he shares with his director, Gautham Vasudev Menon.
GVM spoke to me about the emotions and the moments. Then he said I’m free to do whatever I feel like. The first tune I made worked for him. https://t.co/iuRhDG6w4I

The composer confessed that he was not a classically trained musician.
Nope. I’m not trained in classical music. But I’ve worked extensively with classical music/musicians. https://t.co/5Qa1giuk2J

In this project it’s GVM’s vision to make exciting work and how he lets you free to experiment. In general for me it’s about zoning out. https://t.co/uArWA2auY8

While it was GVM’s idea to keep the composer anonymous, Mr X had similar ideas around the same time as well.
We both thought about it around the same time, strangely. But he was the first one to ask me and I said ‘Please, let’s do’ https://t.co/1YXg4VanzX

This desire to remain anonymous is so great that it eclipses Google’s serious sleuthing skills
haha… There are a lot of things Google doesn’t know about. https://t.co/hC2OZs64qE

Mr X also confessed that the reason behind his anonymity was his inability to handle attention
I don’t think I’m that great at handling attention. I’m quite peaceful being anonymous. https://t.co/8QnYa8QsSk

While Mr X may be content staying in the shadows, his fans are not content letting him remain so.
haha…

Which makes the theory that Darbuka Siva is the mystery composer, all the more credible. A quick glance at the Twitter profile of Darbuka Siva confirms his ability to read Tamil, his support for Arsenal and his iPhone owner status.
Till Menon confirms our assumption though, it’s anybody’s guess.
