Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[Gregorysab]

TV9 interview was good! Liked it! His telugu improved leaps and bounds.

Disappointed to know that he is not keen on remastering his old songs

[AravindMano]

Balachandar has become too old, isn't it? In his withered voice mentioning good things about Raja, very moving.

[Gregorysab]

and in that Sakshi interview, for that "cooking food takes time" topic, when journo asked him - how come you do music quickly.. he replies.. "because you are coming to a place where the food is ready to be served already"

[rajabhakthan]

Can somebody translate this please?

Rajabhaktan,

It is same as Sakshi TV video posted above.. just in print format.

[Gregorysab]

Good interviews!

But The contrast or contradiction I see in them is about Sr Rama Rajyam. in TV9, raaja says that the digital technology that people are talking about, is there in Rama Rajyam as well. in sakshi tv interview, Raaja says Rama Rajyam doesnt have electronics and it has only live instruments (Raaja also says that all his films have live instruments also - which, frankly speaking, is false! but anyway). Thats weird! probably he didnt elaborate more, which makes it very contradictory!

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

i too see a contradiction. may be i understood wrong, i don't know...

in one recent interview he said he hadn't listened to any new latest songs

in dhoni function he says, "inraya isai enge poi kondirukkirathu enru neengaLe paarthu kolllungaL"

[San_K]

Raaja pechukku neradi artham paarthu kuzhampaatheenga. Avaru appadithaan! Go in a different direction, see in a different angle and find some different meanings, you will not get contrdiction

suttufied from the other NEPV thread:
