He is not alive now and I think his son is a film director and is married to a girl from Deva's family That means, in a way, IR & Deva are sambandhees!

It's interesting to see YGM with the drums (abaswaram Ramji used to claim that only his troup & IR's owned that kind of drums those days and a-R MDed the movie where YGM played the lead role, Kamal danced for the song 'kAmanukku kAman, kAdhalukku mAman')
