Humorous Raja @ Sengathu Bhoomiyile Press Meet:



Dhoni Press Meet (overlap of certain scenes in 2 clips):





I don't think Raja got so much Public Relations and marketing in any of his recent films like he got with Dhoni. I like Prakashraj, but I never realized he is such a good business man, above all the way he admires Raja is really very inspiring.

SKV & K, How to thank you for sharing these two wonderful articles. kannu kalangidichu sir. When Nassar told 'avar muzhangal pidichu azhuthEn' after hearing the song, I could not control myself too. Sameway, when Na.Muthukumar expressed about 'aalolam paadi' and its lyrics. The way Nasser expressed how fast he wrote the song; he was not sure, if Maestro was writing a song, or he was writing something angrily, or was he writing for someone else, I was taken to floor. Idhai vida namakku enna sir perumai vEnum, being Raja fans.

Many websites are reporting (and some say it is official) that IR is scoring for GVM's NEPV. I wish to hear more frequent updates on the progress to really really confirm . I hope this combo comes out with some melodious tunes (be it song tunes or ludes tunes). Also, hope he continues to use more of live orchestra with a contemporary touch (I am sure he can create magic).

Snippet from supergoodmovies news item:

"...It's official Isaignani Ilayaraja will be composing for Gautham Vasudev Menon's upcoming film 'Neethane Yen Pon Vasantham' starring Jeeva and Samantha in the lead roles..."

Snippet from oneindia website news:

"...Music Maestro Ilaiyaraaja is all set to work with ace filmmaker Gautham Menon. Yes, the 68-year-old has been signed to score the music for forthcoming Tamil movie Neethaane En Ponvasantham (NEP).

The music director has confirmed that he has signed Gautham Menon's film. Ilaiyaraaja claims that he will start the composition works soon. It is also noted that they have teamed up for the first time and the expectations have obviously reached sky high from this combo..."

BTW, this is a trilingual (tamil, telugu and hindi).

MAA (MAA TV) music award for best background score went to IR for SRR movie. Not surprising!

Goutham Menon - IR combo is very important in one sense - After Maniratnam-IR split, I think this is the first time IR is joining hands with a director who comes close to Mani in market expectations..

IR among ten people receiving "People of the year" award at the unveiling of the 23rd Limca Book of Records. I guess he was not present though.
