I Fail to understand how on earth would he (or anybody would) think that a DSP or ShMaha or a GIBRAN can do a better job than IR.
The issue with KH, RK and few other long timers (directors included) is.. they seem to think that they need to update and that means working with new generation technicians. They fail to understand that it applies to them too viceversa . Learn from Balkis.. You need to be strong to stick to your preferences, come what may.You will succeed if the content is good.

I used to be a Kamal fan, still like his older movies,even the clearly commercial gimmicks like Aboorva Sagotharargal. But ever since he has had full control over his movies like directing, script etc they have been very self centered indulgent efforts. Sadhi leelavathi was so good because BM had a say. The last of the areas he didnt have full control over was the music, i suspect thats why he has moved away from working with IR. The results have been horrible but he doesnt seem to care. Everytime he talks about how awesome IR is, it is just very annoying.

With RK, at least its honest and clear that its all commercial mass entertainment.
