app_eng,

One reason the Balaji - Raja combo may not have worked out for that film could be because Balaji would have wanted Raja to transpose (better word for copy ) songs from the Telugu movie. Balaji always made copied movies I think and Raja may not have agreed to copy the tunes. Hence GA?. In this movie which GA was the music director, one song, "vandanam abhinanadanam" was copied from the Telugu original.

Ofcourse this is all IMO. I have no clue what happened but that Raja refused to be the MD, while GA became the MD and a Telugu original creeped in gives me this thought.
