Uyir (1971 - TVS productions) was Salilda's first foray into Tamil films. I have no idea why the director of this film used Salilda only for the backdround music and let the obscure Ramana Sridhar compose the songs. Saravanan Natarajan of Dubai sent me details of this film "Uyir (1971/ TVS Productions) had actors like Muthuraman, Sarojadevi, Lakshmi, Nagesh and Balaji. Story, dialogues and direction by P.R.Somu. Music was by Ramana Sridhar. BGM (or Re-recording as it was known) was by
Salilda."
Saravanan also wrote an excellent article on Salilda's Tamil film songs. You can read his full article here
