Later, at a marriage function held at the Rajeswary Marriage hall, Kannadasan was seated in the front row. But deep inside, Ilayaraja felt a great vacuum in the songs that he composed. Owing to this sad state of affairs Ilayaraja did not use Kannadasan for some time. (Details censured) Ilayaraja was naturally sad. Meanwhile, when Ilayaraja picked up misunderstanding with some who were very close to Kannadasan, Kannadasan too jumped into the bandwagon and made a very strong statements hitting hard at Ilayaraja. After that they worked together in many other movies, and all the songs of Kannadasan still occupy a special place in the musical career of the Maestro. Ilayaraja felt that it was a welcome signal from Kannadasan. When Ilayaraja was introduced to Kannadasan, the poet commented, I guessed this must be Ilayaraja. In the song Kannodu Kannu from PAALOOTTI VALARTHA KILI, Kannadasan added a line VAA RAAJA VAA. It was only during his second film PAALOOTTI VALARTHA KILI that Ilayaraja had an opportunity to work with Kannadasan directly. But Raja had no opportunity to consort and associate with the great poet.
One such song was of course THEN SINTHUTHE VAANAM in PONNUKKU THANGA MANSU. When Raja was assisting other MDs, especially GK Vengakatesh, he had contributed in the composing of the tune for the songs of Kannadasan. There is an impact of Kannadasan in his life. So he is today an MD in a way, owing to this song that triggered off his determination to shape a clear cut future for himself. He always felt that this song of Kannadasan would be relevant and meaningful for all years to come. There and then he decided to shape his future and so decided to take up music for his career. He felt that the song emphasised on the need to make a decision for the future. Therefore Ilayaraja used to meditate on the meaning. Youthful days have been spent as a dream. There is a line in this song, which goes: It is this song that has made Ilayaraja what he is today, according to his own admission. Ilayaraja had sung this song and won awards in his school in Devaram. His all-time favourite song was MAALAI POZHUTHIN MAYAKKATHILE in the film BAGYALECHUMY. When Ilayaraja started to sing in his childhood days, he went for the songs written by Kannadasan and sung by P. That was the last song that Kannadasan wrote for us. The film will hit the big screen on February 21.The one song that would go down in history is Kanne Kalaimaane in MOONDRAAM PIRAI. It stars Santhosh Sreeram, Suseela, Dharun and Aadhira Pandilakshm in lead roles. To Let follows the story of a family who has been suddenly asked to vacate their rented apartment in a month. The film won several awards last year including the National Award for the Best Feature Film in Tamil. Written and directed by ace cinematographer Chezhiyan, To Let has made the rounds of several film festivals all over the world. Directed by debutant Prabhu, LKG is being produced by Ishari K Ganesh’s banner Vels Entertainment and is set to release on February 22. While Priya Anand will play the female lead, AIADMK politician Nanjil Sampath has landed an important role in the film. The film has generated a lot of interest as it seems that Balaji will be trolling Tamil Nadu’s political leaders using his inimitable brand of comedy.
RJ Balaji, known for his comedic roles in films such as Naanum Rowdy Dhan, Vellaikaran and Vadacurry, will be seen playing a politician in LKG. This upcoming political satire will mark RJ-actor Balaji’s debut as a lead actor.
