snippets on Vaali felicitation function by Raj TV on Aug28th
Watched Vaali felicitation function aired by Raj TV on Sunday Aug 28th. Iam just sharing with you the IR relevant part alone. RajTV gave a good 3.5 hours coverage . It was a well attended function , stalwarts like IR. Manorama , MSV, Parthiban, BM,BR, AVM Saravanan, Nagesh, Kamal , Shankar, SJSurya making it.
When IR arrived, I guess that was a little late, there sure was a big
commotion with many front row dignitaries like MSV, Parthiban, BM,BR, AVM Saravanan, Nagesh, Kamal,Vaali all of them standing
from their seats to greet him. IR was accorded a seat right next to the vizha nayagar Vaali. IR embraced Vaali nd sat next to him. Next to IR was Kamal.
The camera often lingered on vAALI, IR nd Kamal during most
part of the programme. IR was all ears and he seemed to listen to what others told about Vaali with keen intent.
Kamal nd IR seemed to share a lot as they were seated next to each other. Nagesh, BR, IR, Kamal nd Vaali's talks were the highlight and deservedly they got a big applause.
BR spoke straight from his heart. He has worked with Vaali for ONLY ONE SONG "Ninaivo oru paravai" from SRojakkal!!!
BR told he was surprised to see so many faces like "kizhavan"(He jovially took a dig at IR) IR, Kamal, Parthiban, PrakashRaj for Vaali's
felicitation and that was proof for the friends Vaali had in the tinsel town. He lamented why there were no actresses , but consoled himself saying Manorama was enough as the actresses could not comprehend Vaali anyways. :lol:
BR recalled one afternoon,when he was an aspiring director and worked as Assistant Director to somebody, (I don't remember rt now) when IR was doing recording for Vaali's "Kannan oru kai kuzhandhai" song from Bhadrakali, he intercepted Vaali who came out from the recording theatre and asked him with trepidation " namma ooru paiyyan......" with a shy drawl
and continued "yeppidi ? theruvaana?" . to which Vaali replied " oru yaanai pinnaadi varudhu" and his words turned prophetic.
BR mentioned how Vaali wrote the "raaja kaiya vachha" line keeping IR in mind and "perisu sirusu sogusu" line keeping Kamal in mind much to the amusement of the crowd (I found this crass :( )
Well, I will continue what IR and Kamal had to say tomorrow.

Actually it was Dr. Kamal Haasan who mentioned the "Raaja kayya vecha" song. KH said that vaali was talking about himself and IR in this song....
<Digression>
Even as Kamal was speaking in the function in Raj TV, KTV was showing mahAnadhi ("Sriranga.." song). Life's choices are difficult :(
