Musician Ilayaraja:
The musician is seen as the proudest living musician who has conducted more than 20 thousand music concerts all over the world.
Ilayaraja started his musical career in the film industry in 1978 and made his music debut in the film Annakkili.
In this situation, the many difficult experiences of Ilayaraja in his early life…Ilayayaraja who was running towards his dream and ambition.
Famous director Bharathiraja has shared about his life in an interview.
We will see about it now in this news package. “I first worked as a health inspector.
Then we became friends with Ilayaraja while going to his town. I will go with them wherever they go for concerts.
That’s how much I fell in love with his music. I am his brother. Everyone including Ilayaraja became friends.
Youthful Tribulations of Ilayaraja:
Then we all came to Chennai together. We all lived in Ranganathan Street in Chennai.
At that time. Ilayaraja eats curry and rice when he gets a headache. He liked it so much that we were cooking and eating a lot of non-vegetarian food, so they vacated us as the place was populated by Brahmins.
Immediately we were staying in Thenampet taking Rs. Ilayaraja used to compose music for plays.
I was working at a petrol station. Between the two, we were looking for film opportunities.
At that time I also introduced him to Panchu Arunachalam. Panchu Arunachalam was shocked to see Ilayaraja’s talent. He praised MS Viswanathan saying that he would build an Oram.
Parayan plays all the music….
After that the film Annakkili became a huge hit and became a huge success. Especially Ilayaraja’s songs kept playing wherever he turned.
Some of the actors who were in the cinema during that period… belonged to the upper caste who held the highest position in the cinema… “Ennaiya Pallan Paraiyar all came and made music”? Bharathiraja has said in that interview that Ilayaraja was ridiculed and criticized.
It is noteworthy that Ilayaraja remains an indispensable music legend and musician today.
