If I assume that this is true - I feel it's unfair to blame KB too much. I know they should've waited but still... They are in business. Atleast they asked him, that too twice. It's not that they dumped him without telling him. I get a feeling that its an impulsive decision that raaja took for a small issue. I mean, it really didn't require such a big decision. These kind of things happen everywhere right, in every profession and with already 400 films in his past, raaja should have, by then, known all such things out of experience and must have acted practically. That (mis)interpretation that they came only for his name and not for music seems farfetched. They came to him only, not anyone else! To clap, you need both hands. To patch up also! It looks like a silly oath taken in a bad mood!

My opinion strictly based on translation by kamesh!

exactly! I was trying to convey the same - originally I had thought KB had used tracks to fill up PPA WITHOUT informing IR ! but it looks like IR was not even in chennai, and KB's team approached him in mumbai with a request to finish the BGM - perhaps, if they had initially asked IR to use his old tracks even without asking him to finish the BGM asap, then it was KB team's fault - OTOH, if they had persuaded IR to finish the BGM before a certain time limit and IR had asked for more time, and then, after some going back and forth, KB team decided to use his old tracks etc, then it was purely a business decision and nothing personal abt it!
