Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[KV]

KV,

Thyagayya is shelved (but Raaja role would have been extremely limited. Maximum we would have got 2-3 non-thyagaraja-composed songs in the film.. like a jagadanandakaaraka in SRR probably and other songs might have been kritis, orchestrated by raaja. Anyway, whats the point in speculating over something thats definitely not happening).

Even that Pavan Kalyan starrer seems to have bit the dust. And hopes again rose when actor Balakrishna recently announced that he is planning to a sequel to Aditya 369 (1990 film) with Singeetham (who directed it). But the hopes immediately crashed the one moment news came out that the music for this sequel will be composed by Mani Sharma.

bleddy naansans . i'd give anything for 369's title score and raasaleela vela. alas...
