Looks like the makers of Neethaane En Ponvasantham are gearing up to launch the film’s audio in a grand scale.While we have earlier reported that IsaignaniIlaiyaraaja is all set to perform live on the occasion, we now hear that he’s getting an orchestra from abroad to accompany him.

A source says, “Almost 70 members of theHungarian National Philharmonic, thesymphony orchestra of Budapest, which was roped in to score the original background, will be flown down for the audio launch. They will be performing the tracks from the film with Ilaiyaraaja. A local orchestra will also be performing some of the hit numbers of the music maestro.”
