vaali oru thalai sirantha lyricist...athukakga avara kannadasanoda compare panni... kanndasana vida periya kavinjar soldrathu....Not a good thing..... When valli entered into film industry kannadasan was already a big lyricist and writer....Many songs from vaali resembled kannadesan that's why people thought some of the vaali's great songs are written by kannadesan. Even vaali encountered this allegation adopting kannadasan's writing style and he accepted graciously as a complement. For an analogy, I misunderstood the songs sung by mano as SPB in the past. it's due to adaptation of mano's style of singing, sometime he filled the role of SPB.
