(groucho, IIRC, this movie was his first full-fledged singing for Sivaji Ganesan...so, the answer for your question is probably IR)

Thank you!

One karuththu in the case of Malaysia Vasudevan getting signed up for Sivaji the first time with IR as MD...it was possible more due to the cold war between TMS & IR. (And this opinion is purely based on news reports / gossips / hEshyams / etc. There's no question about MV's capability to deliver the goods and he did it in style, "poongAtru thirumbumA" is one all-time-great song for Sivaji IMO).

From IR's film field history, it's quite clear that there was a time period when he stopped working with TMS, even though he started his 'annakkiLi onnaththEduthE' with the majestic voice. Prior to this "break", IR was given a number of Sivaji movies and TMS had his share of songs, including my fav 'enthan pon vaNNamE' of nAn vAzha vaippen.

After some supposedly unkind remarks by TMS on IR in interview(s) or some other ladAi, there started this period of not working together. This also meant no Sivaji movies for IR for a few years. (Possibly in 1980, after 'rishi moolam', that had TMS singing nEramidhu & 50-lum Asai varum).

(Ofcourse, there had been hit movies / songs for Sivaji during this time period, mainly with MSV as MD and TMS was featured regularly in their combo along with SPB and may be KJY, but I don't recall any Malaysia Vasudevan song. If there's a MV song, please correct me.)

With IR slowly becoming a defacto choice for most big producers, the market demand for other MDs including mellisai mannar was suddenly going down in 80's. Meanwhile, Prabhu had become a star and possibly didn't want to stay away from IR for reasons such as TMS who was on the wane. I think Sivaji wanted to support Prabhu's rise and also possibly never had anything personal against IR (though he definitely preferred to TMS over IR and decided on MSV during 1980 - 1982, years of phenomenal rise of IR).

veLLai rOjA (1983), boring but successful remake of a Malayalam thriller, had both Sivaji and Prabhu. IR was signed, ofcourse approved by Sivaji. SPB sang the two non-Sivaji songs (Oh mAnE mAne mAne unnaiththAne for Prabhu, sOlaippoovil mAlaiththendRal for Suresh).

Sivaji's two songs (dual role - so two songs minimum, one a church priest and another a CID sleuth) had MV's voice.

(Interestingly, Raja had TMS sing for Sivaji in 'thAikku oru thAlAttu' after a few years, a "remix" song - "pazhaya pAdal pOla puthiya pAdal illai" using the melody of the PS-MSV-TKR classic "unnai onRu kEtpEn uNmai solla vENdum" of puthiya paRavai)

Deep condolences to the demise of a great singer. May his soul rest in peace. He will continue to live among us through his innumerable soulful songs.

RIP Sir :sad:

நடிகை சுஜாதாவின் ஆத்மா சாந்தியடையட்டும்.

அவள் ஒரு தொடர்கதை , அன்னக்கிளி , அந்தமான் காதலி, அவர்கள் , பூந்தளிர் , தாய்க்கொரு தாலாட்டு போன்ற படங்கள் நினைவில் வந்து செல்கிறது.

:shock: RIP :sad:
