Maestro's Yet Another Stroke

Music is his religion, language and universe. Isaignani Ilayaraja has the ruler of music over the ages and even after years of accomplishing with incomparable achievements, his achievements continue. Ilayaraja has been awarded for ‘Best Background Score’ (Pazhasi Raja).

Gleefully speaking to media channels, Ilayaraja said, “I have previously won 3 National awards. But I feel this one to be as special as ‘Background Score’ estimates the real identity of a music director. It was an usual score for Pazhasi Raja that I had composed. But when juxtaposed with the grand visuals shot by Hariharan, I felt there was a sort of irrelevance between music and visuals. Apparently with the request of filmmaker Hariharan, I started composing newfangled music with symphonic orchestration. Today, I stand elated bagging this prestigious award…

Ilayaraja had previously won National awards for Sindhu Bhairavi (1986) and the Telugu films Rudraveena (1989) and Saagara Sangamam (1984)

National Award For Amitabh,llayaraja & 'Pasanga'

The 57th National award winners have been announced and Maestro Ilayaraja has won the award for the Best Background score for his efforts in Pazhassi Raja. Incidentally Ilayaraja is the first winner of the award in this category which has been introduced only this year. This will be his fourth National award after Sindhu Bhairavi, Rudraveena and Saagara Sangamam. The best music director (songs) award has been given to Amit Trivedi for the Hindi movie Dev D.

Uninvited Kollywood Copycat

Right from the moment he entered the tinsel town, Suseendran’s dream was to work with maestro Illayaraja, at least in one film. And it has come true with the filmmaker’s forthcoming venture, titled ‘Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai’.

According to sources close to the ‘Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu’ and ‘Naan Mahaan Alla’ director, he was very particular that the Isaignani should compose music for ‘Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai’ and succeeded in his ‘mission’ finally.

“He was initially doubtful whether Raja sir would accept to score music for the film. However, impressed by the storyline and the way it was narrated by Suseendran, the maestro expressed his consent to work with him,” sources say.

Produced by Gautham Vasudev Menon’s Photon Factory, ‘Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai’, based on a novel by noted writer Bhaskar Sakthi, has one of the protagonists of ‘Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu’ opposite Saranya Mohan.
