He also said one more thing right after he said that sarvaathigaari thing, which was not shown - Wistle adikkaatheengannu sollura thairiyam avarukku thaan undu!
I respect RKS!!
Thanks sakala for sharing this article.
Idhu pOthum yA! GVM neeveer vaazhga! This is the transparency which I was talking about earlier, which was very important to many directors/fans, became secondary now. I can't express the sense of relief in words when I hear this.Quote:

There is a difference between Balki talking about Ilaiyaraaja, with contemporary examples and some director talking about working with Raaja in 1989 and telling how raaja composed 5 songs in 35minutes. I like the former, not the latter.
3. Hats off to the patience of those musicians who had to sit through all that.
4. Singers did a nice job. Except Yuvan - horrible singing. For that matter, even Raaja was struggling a lot.
I listened to NEPV songs after a 2 day gap yesterday. No matter how many times I listen - I still feel that Saindhu Saindhu, Pengal yendral & Vaanam mella would have been much much better if singer choices would have been different. Both Yuvan and Raaja himself disappointed me a lot, in singing department and Bela Shinde too (i think she is helpless there - given the pitch she is suddenly given in the charanams). Yedhi Yedhi (telugu version) is definitely better than saindhu saindhu!
// Has he seen any of your films?
I didn't ask him but he has heard about my films.
He knows that I have used some of his music in my films. His children have told him about my films. //
Aah ! That we know for sure. IR's kids only could have told him "Dad...there's a new guy who is successful and also worships you in his films"
sAindhu sAindhu - I'll have to confess my liking for Yuvan's singing :oops:
(And I've never liked him as a singer or any song sung by him before)
Lovely song :-)
Thanks all of you for clarifying about R.K.Selvamani. I was angry earlier but have cooled down after reading your posts.
Yuvan did a good job in Pengal endral song, I enjoyed it in the cd as well in the concert even though the orchestra did not help him enough. Listen to Oru Kal oru Kannadi song from Siva Manasula sakthi. you may start liking his voice :-) http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer...7'&lang=en, I think Raja sir's hand is in this song :-)
Have not heard the songs? Is it like the Vintage (80's) rAsA album ?
