Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Raja_Fan, You should read Biographies of other great Composers, Artists etc. Mozart use to write letters to relatives, friends which will have foul words. Thats just one thing to say. He himself had said his life is not worth to follow, and not pure like his music.

Generally, the attributes you find in Raja which are disturbing atleast for you are,

the way he does self-praise(this is actually less, and he equally talks low profile things abt him. So this is balanced, i would say)

Other 2 striking things are
he doesn't say even simply good things and basic wishing words about other MDs, mostly of his and the next gen
he kinda doesn't care at all and look about the ppl who went away to other MDs or those who at times kind of insulted him

See, these 2 are purely professional, almost everybody has this. There is nothing to worry for general public. He treats even his kind of dumbest fan, nicely, when he talks in his concerts. He doesn't Discriminate btw his intelligent and dumb fans.

Above all, there are lot of good traits he has which other MDs not at all have. Neither in 80s 90s, where he did 50+ films per year, nor now, he doesn't asks extra comfort for composing sessions. Even now, most of his Salary goes to Recording and other technicians. Just compare the recent MDs who charge in Crores and at times, if the album flops, actually there is no way how the produces makes up with that loss! Raja has not let any producer in such a situation.

Though we all know, his speed also brings down the cost very much. He don't take too many days and thus in a way reducing the composing session costs.
