Ilayaraja.. There is no music lover who does not know this name. Bringing a new wave to film music..Maestro Ilayaraja, a great music genius, broke new ground in film songs with his unique music. Almost five decades of existence as a music director.. Music for more than a thousand films.. This is Ilayaraja’s record.
Even though the generations are changing.. Ilayaraja, who owns an inexhaustible musical treasure, is still busy with a series of films. However.. these days they are seen in the same level of controversies. In particular, it has become common for him to send notices to anyone who uses the music of the films he has sung for, but the background music, without his permission.
A few years ago, Ilayaraja had a big dispute with his friend Balasubrahmanyam on the same issue. After that it settled down. Ilayaraja shocked the makers of Rajinikanth’s latest ‘Coolie’. While announcing the title of Rajinikanth’s movie ‘Coolie’, which is being produced by Sun Pictures under the direction of Lokesh Kanakaraj, the team has released a few glimpses. In these glimpses, the bit ‘Va Va Pakkam Va’ which was previously composed by Ilayaraja and Rajinikanth for ‘Thanga Magan’ has been used.With this, Ilayaraja sent notices to the makers that it is not appropriate to use that musical bit without his permission. Currently, the matter of these notices has become a hot topic in Kollywood.
