(RK who currently has a great say in selection of technicians for his film has at least declared that he thought of IR for kuchElan; so there's a strong possibility that IR was approached for bAtsha and the like earlier).

If you recall, in one 'Veera' (music or movie) function, Rajini said that IR does special music for some people like Panchu Arunaachalam. I could connect it with the ending of the song "Maadathile" in 'Veera' - the audio will have a normal ending with a beat - whereas the movie it ends with a set of soft percussions with a closing string / chord flow (the scene ends with Rajini on an 'Oonjal', etc.). It was mentioned at that point of time that IR finished composing that song, then called the director again (the next day or later) and improvised the ending of the song.

Just before 'Veera', Rajini's home production 'Valli' had IR scoring for the movie, even Latha singing a song. And think of Rajini making a comment in 'Veera' function hinting at a kind of partiality IR has. Probably this annoyed IR. Since then, IR and Rajini have not worked together - otherwise you can see that 'Veera' and 'Baasha' had the same crew. And subsequent Rajini movies like 'Arunachalam', 'Baba' and 'Chandramukhi' had subjects which would give ample scope for Raaja to enhance the impact.

This is my opinion and inference out of the news items I read around that time.

P.S. : Another sad fact is that Kamal is also citing various compulsions - Director / Producer, etc. - to justify his using other MDs instead of Raaja - it is purely business. When it comes to their survival and success, these stars tend to opt for other MDs for apparent 'Saleability' - this only means that they are less confident of themselves and IR, when compared to Balki.

Why are they using that song ? Just curious !

The original song itself is used. The character Azhagar falls in love with a girl and he tells his friend Paraman about their love. They usually hangout in a Radios shop which is located just opposite of her house. While both guys were talking, the radio shop guy plays this song in his record player. The story happens in the 80s, so they used this song.
