...We hope that he takes care of his health.

Yes, really hope so. He has finished recording 12 songs in 6 days for Bala's new movie, which is not exactly new for IR, but in this case, it seems he had lengthy sessions, starting from 7am upto 1am.

"...Apparently, the recording sessions were lengthy affairs, going from 7 am in the morning to well beyond midnight (1 am)! ..... Says a source in the unit, "Raaja sir recorded all the songs using a live orchestra. Moreover, since folk dance is an integral part of the film, he has used folk musicians who are not associated with the film industry. All the singers and the lyricists for this project are traditional musicians"

thanks,
