Avvalavudhaan. In the case of MGR (same with
famous producers such as AVM) it seems the
movie director first went to the MD, conveyed
the request for the songs and they made the
tunes; indha stage mudindha piraguthaan MGR
azhaikkap paduvaar. MGR potta tunes-kalai

good music + hit songs is highly dependant on
whether the MD sets his mind or not; MDs don't
get kicked around by directors/actors/producers
anymore.
