Good analysis man. Of course ARR is my all-time favorite MD, and I would love him to compose music for my all-time favorite Superstar, with the biggest director in Tamil cinema. However, I differ from you in one aspect. If not ARR, I would prefer HJ, because he's the only one who's got the ARR style and touch. Not even IR or anybody else for that reason. The whole experience or ambience of the movie will be so different if either of these 2 dont compose the music...Just my personal thought...
