From Vikram Vedha To Odiyan: Why Composer Sam C.S. Is The Perfect Match For The Vvaan's Mythic World

There is a distinct reason the background score of The Vvaan teaser lingers long after the visuals fade. The mist-draped forest, the underlying mystery, and the sense of an ancient, terrifying force lurking just beyond what Sidharth Malhotra's character can see are all elevated by an alluring, haunting soundscape.

For acclaimed composer Sam C.S., crafting music for worlds beyond the ordinary is far from unfamiliar territory — it is his signature playground.

Building Worlds Through Sound: The Sam C.S. Approach

Before stepping into full-fledged film composition, Sam worked extensively in music programming and background scoring for horror and thriller projects. That foundational experience defined his unique philosophy: music isn't something added after storytelling, it is a tool to build the world itself.

In Vikram Vedha, instead of leaning on predictable thriller tropes, Sam fused grand orchestral arrangements with traditional Indian ethnic sounds, giving the gritty urban cat-and-mouse chase a legendary pulse. In Odiyan, for Mohanlal's folklore-heavy Malayalam fantasy-thriller, he went even further beyond standard instruments, tracking down a rare six-foot traditional bamboo instrument played by one of the last surviving native musicians in Kerala, all to make the folklore feel authentic and lived-in.

Why The Vvaan Demands Sam's Unique Touch

The Vvaan is attempting something bold: bringing fantasy folklore — a genre rarely explored in mainstream Hindi commercial cinema — to a massive scale. The film introduces an entirely new universe filled with supernatural rules, ancient beliefs, and indigenous mythos.

In The Vvaan teaser, Sam weaves rooted Indian musical textures alongside a striking, chills-inducing rendition of "Aigiri Nandini." It gives the high-concept visual spectacle an authentic, local soul that few composers could pull off with the same confidence.

With the expanded cinematic universe already launching via The Legend of Vvaan comic book, Sam C.S. has been handed his largest canvas yet — and if history is any indicator, the soundtrack will be nothing short of monumental.
