An Old friend of film maker Ram Gopal Varma wrote a letter to him, which RGV has published on his blog: http://rgvzoomin.com/wrong-go-pal-war-ma/
The letter was just reminiscences of that friend about RGV, when they were students in engg college.It is written in telugu. I'd like to translate(roughly) that:
"we used to be mad/crazy about Ilaiyaraaja's music. Apart from telugu, you got hold of a tamil cassette once, "Ilaiyaraaja Hits in Tamil". It was a festival of sorts for us.We used sit on the terrace of Civil Block building and listen to those songs in walkman, taking turns.I still have that old CONEY cassette".
I wonder how it must have felt for RGV, to be a fan of IR as a mere student and then having IR himself as the music director for his debut film. RGV once said that he felt he was successful for the first time ever, when he saw his name along with Ilaiyaraaja's name on the poster of Shiva.
RGV might not be working with IR today, but he does have good respect for him i guess. And yes, my guess is that, that CONEY cassette might have had "Aananda Raagam" and RGV might have wanted it in Hindi as "Saara Yeh Aalam". Outstanding composition
between RGV and Raaja they can write a book explaining Ayn Rand.Quote:
