ISAI Nyaani Illaiyaraja made one of his rare public appearances when he graced the launch of the audio of Valmiki, the second production of Vikadan Talkies. Anandhanarayaanan, a former assistant to director Shankar, makes his debut as a director in Valmiki. Akil, who made an impressive debut in Balaji Sakthivel’s Kalloori, plays the lead role opposite Meera Nandan and Devika. The event was also attended by directors Shankar and Lungusamy. In his address, Illaiyaraja spoke of the reasons for his reluctance in making public appearances, saying his words were always misinterpreted. As if to prove this point, the English press of Tamil Nadu have spoken of Illaiyaraja’s “arrogance” and “aloofness” in his speech when he spoke about his life, which revolves around music. Of significance was his comment about director Myss-kin and how he had not heard from him since the re-recording of the film Nandhalala. He added that such contact between them was unnecessary as they had a mutual understanding of each other (Mysskin was also one of the speakers). The English press have taken one tabloid’s English translation and have since gone on surfeit of lies and half-truths about Illiayaraja’s arrogance. It is sad when a musical genius like Illaiyaraja, who shaped the destiny of music in Tamil cinema, is shown little respect by a generation of journalists who, in all probability, have little idea about his accomplishments.
Ilaiyaraaja, Yanni and Butterfly Dance
The above link showcases Yanni's lifestyle and music and a excerpt from the article compares Yanni with thalaivar. Basically Yanni composed this song called Butterfly Dance which is a very unique form of music.
the link here :
Butterfly Dance by Yanni
But the article writer claims that thalaivar already composed such a style for the film MTK, the song is ooru sanam(which the orchestration was all by thalaivar).
Ooru Sanam

Bhagyaraj recalls an episode during mundhAnai mudichchu days. As his first film 'suvar illAdha siththirangaL' and the subsequent silver jubillee hit 'mouna geethangaL' had GA as MD, he was firm about using GA for MM it seems.
(Bhagyaraj meanwhile had used MSV for oru kai Osai / andha 7 nAtkaL, Shankar Ganesh for darling^3, IR for indRu pOi nALai vA, thooRal ninnu pOchchu & vidiyum varai kAththiru, which are not mentioned in this article / speech)
As AVM was insisting on IR, Bhagyaraj had to go to him. As expected, IR refused pointing to the fact that GA was the director's first choice. Bhagyaraj had to reason with IR as "is GA an african, is he not your own thambi etc. " and it took a great deal to make him agree it seems :-)
Commercially, MM is the biggest ever hit for Bhagyaraj and only very few films in TF history can match its success (i.e. within TN). To this day he is recognized for 'murungaikkAi samAchchAram' than anything else :wink:
Velu Prabhakaran's 'Kadhal Arangam' has been changer to 'Kadhal kadhai' and set to release in july as per a paper AD in ThinaThanthi. Hopefully audio should be released soon.

K,
If someone listens to the song for the first time in the movie hall, however great the song may be, what they see on-screen will have a great bearing on how they like the song.
If they've listened it prior -like those of us here in this forum - then the opinion will be on musical considerations alone and the video won't have any impact even when viewed later.
Ofcourse, people may dislike a movie's songs for many reasons; but to write that vAlmIki is IR's end etc only shows that the person has a pre-planned agenda. Such "opinions" have zero credentials for "review". That too when an IR-long-timer like me enjoys at least four songs from this movie for more than a month continuously, such opinions automatically earn their place in the garbage:-)
