Ilayaraja is one of the most popular music composers in Tamil cinema of all time. Ilayaraja made his debut in Tamil cinema as a music composer at the end of the black and white era of cinema and the beginning of the era of color cinema.
From his first film Annakkili till now, the reception of his songs has not been lacking. At the time of the release of the movie Annakkili, Ilayaraja’s song was the only one that received a huge response in Tamil cinema.
Ilayaraja
At that time, no other composers had the same reach as Ilayaraja. At this stage, there is a talk that AR Raghuman came after Ilayaraja as a big obstacle in cinema.
Because till then Ilayaraja used to compose music using old musical instruments like harmonium, instead of these traditional instruments, AR Raghuman started giving new kinds of music using English musical instruments.
Interrogative verb
After the release of Roja, a huge market emerged for AR Rakhuman. The then young generation started listening to AR Rakhuman’s songs. After this, many opportunities started coming to AR Rahman.
Especially some directors like Mani Ratnam Shankar did not come to Ilayaraja’s side and started making music only with AR Rakhuman. There is a saying in Tamil cinema that Ilayaraja has a bit of arrogance in general.
Shame on the actress on stage
In such an interview, there was an incident where Raghuvaran’s wife actress Rohini was affected by Ilayaraja AR Raghuman’s problem. Director Shankar had come to the function when Ilayaraja was conducting a music concert on a stage.
Then when Shankar was speaking on the stage, he told him that we have a desire to make a film together with actress Rohini and Ilayaraja. He asked if it will happen sir. Immediately it made Ilayaraja very angry.
Why are you asking him all these kinds of questions? He started talking angrily that he is making music for films with his favorite composer, why are you compel him. Many fans who have seen the video say that the reason for Ilayaraja’s anger is that he continues to compose music for AR Raghuman Shankar’s films.
