The news is fake.
The song is from a different album.

Calm down, calm down. Have a look at this:

I am sure if he hears what all we are talking, Illayaraja is going to ask us, "petromax dhaan venumaa"?

thank you thank you Suresh enna oru soft sword'le kolai panniyiruppaanga neenga kaapaththalana ..
I hope IR does not read these pages.. we put his music and personality and psychology (sometimes inadvertently) under a microscope here.
We rather have him do his music without any self-consciousness which is why he never revisits his own work, I think.
By seriously, I meant he does put in some more thought and preparation in to the orchestration and recording. (eg for Guru and pazhassi rAja - he advised that the score should be orchestral - not jazzy/rock and went to write the music in that format)
I dont think he tries his tunes over and over again. Every tune is just "born" as it were - no plastic surgery on it . It is up to the director to pick it.

kiru,
i am alright... jus a bit surprised/annoyed when people speak without trust...
some say, 'good that he takes this album seriously' - so other albums he did without any sincerity? aint that contrasting to what he has been?
and they say, 'good tune is a matter of chance for him' - ordinary tune/special tune is only to us, for the composers, they compose every tune with love, if they are not satisfied they would not even churn it out in the first place... thats for any composer, then imagine the uncompromising IR...

the time from announcement of this movie to release is exposing the weakest of the souls here... the people who know he is a genius, but they don hav faith in him... they know he is uncomparable, but they would compare him with day before yesterday's musicians... they use to worry for there is no proper heir for his talent, but they would suggest that his album would come good with the help of his sons...

kaetta... engalukkum theriyum album arumayaa varumnu, aanaa...... apdinu iluppeenga..

After all Raja is a human (atleast in human form ). Recently in an interview Arunmozhi said, Raja has given chance to Arunmozhi to do BGM for a movie (the one n only movie Vijay & Ajith acted together). This does not mean his lost interest or something similar, tell me something about about this?. Avaru ella padathukkum equal importance kodikkiraar appadinu sonna namala naame emaathikkura maathiri. BTW i don't know what is the connection between sincerity and giving importance

What kind of music will a film composed by Raja get? We don't know and cannot predict also. He has an inbuilt sophisticated Music composing Engine which is highly powerful anyday. The power is same, in terms of musical creativity, till the day Raja breathes. Its like guessing if God is there. We cannot conclude, likewise we cannot predict what outcome will Raja give for a film. One thing is sure. Agreed there are LOT of films which are not up to mark but are remembered today only for great Music by Raja. At same time, there are not that many films in Raja's musical history where he failed to deliver good music for a film which is/was appreciated by public. Only that level we can predict. Like nadhi moolam, rishi moolam, it is Isai Moolam which is totally not in our control. And actually this unpredictability is also one factor which keeps us interested!

Sanjeevi,

exceptions cannot be examples.
those were the ones he outsourced and so was the outcome... but with NEPV everyone knows the project is yearning for an IR musical and he has accepted it heartfully. apram inga yaen andha doubtu?

i always believed that sincerity - giving importance - commitment are all interrelated... illayaa? english'um thappadhaan padichenaa?
