Why should I be left out? Let me also speculate

While I was under the impression the misunderstanding between Raja and the KB coterie during PPA being the root cause for Raja's career plunge. Now with this new light, it must have been only a simmering rift then that widened into a deep chasm in those 3 years that followed. Raja might have taken note of KB settling for a lesser Maragathamani for small fries like Vaaname ellai, Azhagan etc and the shrewd businessman in KB wanted none lesser than IR for biggies like Annamalai and would go to the extent of even sending his high-brow chela-Rajini with lucrative proposal. Now, our man who knew he was invincible played hard to get and rejected Rajini's feelers without even realising he was indeed signing a pact for his nemesis. This ill-fated move benefitted Deva in TFM who was a nonentity till then and more so the next new super whizkid entrant in Kavithalaya banner who virtually relegated IR to a second rung MD. Heard late Jeeva's frequent pin pricks on this sAga caused some domestic dissonance

In another interview IR mentioned that Kavithalaya was always in hurry for release with every other film, and don't give enough time. PPA was not the first. IMO, KB with his clout wanted to use all the big names (mass masala) to make money, but he will direct movies that will give him fame. (ramarajan, VK etc avoided him smartly - saying we can watch deity from a distance, no need to go touch it). KB's expectation is that IR should put other small fishes on hold to get this projects out. Some how he and MR got this Idea that they are superiors who need more attention.

He has a a value system..right or wrong and sticks to it.
His music is also an offshoot of his value system.His values and music are inseperable.

If he had started bending for everything, i dont think we would be holding him so close to our hearts.

He rarely compromises. Even in compromising situations he somehow escapes with his value system.
Even in his music that is the case ..In every kuthu song he brings a melody

He may have made his mistakes. He may have some other times taken a business approach.
But i for one always would salute his strong value system and philosophy. It is what he is. It is what makes his music.

Well put.

இளையராஜாவை சூசகமாக தாக்கிய தங்கர்

பஞ்சப் பாட்டு பாடுவதில் தங்கர்பச்சானுக்கு கிராமி அவார்ட் தரலாம். அதுவும் மேடை கிடைத்துவிட்டால் இவர் சரியான மைக் முழுங்கி. ஒண்ணுமே சரியில்லை ஒலகமே சரியில்லைன்னு புலம்பித் தள்ளுவார் பாருங்க... அள்ள ரெண்டு குப்பை வண்டி வேணும்.

அம்மாவின் கைப்பேசி எடுக்கப் போறது உறுதியானதும் இளையராஜாவிடம் சென்று தலையை சொறிந்திருக்கிறார். சொந்தமா எடுக்கிறேன் ஏதோ பேருக்கு ஆயிரமோ ரெண்டாயிரமோ வாங்கிக்கங்க என்ற ரீதியில் போட்டிருக்கிறார் ஒரு ராப்பாட்டு. அப்பாலே போ சைத்தானே என்று துரத்தியிருக்கிறார் இளையராஜா. ஞானியிடம் பழம் பழுக்காத கோபத்தில் புதிதாக ஒரு இசையமைப்பாளரை களம் இறக்கி புதிய இசை, புதிய திசை என்றெல்லாம் விளம்பரப்படுத்தினார். இந்த நமைச்சல் பிரஸ்மீட்டில் வெடித்தது.

இங்க எவனுமே சரியில்லை கதை எழுதினா நடிக்க வரமாட்டேனுறாங்க, இசையமைப்பாளரும் அப்படிதான் நிறைய துட்டு கேட்கிறானுங்க, இசையும் வாய்ல ஸாரி காதுல கேட்க முடியிறதில்லை என்று பிராய்ந்து தள்ளினார். அங்கே வாங்கிய குட்டுக்கு இங்கே வந்து மைக்கை வீங்க வைப்பதில் என்ன நியாயம். கேட்கிறவன் காது வலிக்குதில்ல.

ஆடியோ வெளியீட்டு விழாவில் சிறப்பு விருந்தினர் எஸ்ஆர்எம் கல்வி நிறுவன தலைவர் பச்சை முத்து என்கிற பாரி வேந்தர். ஓட்டுக்காக தோளில் கலப்பையுடன் போஸ் தந்த மல்டி மில்லியனர் விவசாயி.

அட்ரா சக்கை இதுதாண்டா கூட்டணி.
