I just bought tickets for Toronto...it's a good 9 hour drive, but well worth it to go and see the King!

They were supposed to announce a special singer for the Toronto concert, kind of mentioned that as a surprise element. Does anyone know who is that singer?

... told the editor Lenin to edit several unnecessary scenes. This gave life to the movie, along with the theme music Thenpandi seemayilae. Had it not been for Ilayaraja and Lenin, the movie would have flopped.

Not sure about the validity of the producer's statements. But all I can say about the highlighted text above is - "ஆணித்தரமான உண்மை". The theme is still the face to the movie. I'm a big fan of Kamal; But sorry, I can't give this to him. IR is the real hero of this movie. IR, Kamal, PC, Balakumaran, Janakaraj and Mani - in that order.

I was surprised too at Kamal's last week's velu nayakan does'nt dance article. Not sure what made these guys to talk about the movie after all these years. Those days, it was openly written about how Muktha made loss and GV profited out of Nayakan. Glad to see Muktha mentioning about Raja sir which Kamal missed. Even if there is a Mani Ratnam's article about it, we won't know who is right or wrong. All we know is that the movie is surely a master piece, Raja sir's songs are fresh till date.
