Music maestro A.R. Rahman, one of the judges, will select the finalists. Vasundara Das will also be one of the judges.

A press release for Saregama said Rahman has been the first to give credits to his musicians on his inlays, such as Shivamani and Shankar Mahadevan who have worked with him.

Auditions for this contest are to be held in Tiruchi, Madurai, Coimbatore, Salem, Tirunelveli, Chennai (Tamil Nadu) and Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Rajamundri and Tirupathi (Andhra Pradesh).
