In a recent post, Ramarajan revealed that the maestro composed six songs for his film in just a day. Music composer Ilaiyaraaja and actor Ramarajan are teaming up for a landmark 25th time. Debutant director Kasimayan’s upcoming Tamil film Kadavul Thantha Parisu will star the actor and feature the composer’s music.
Kadavul Thantha Parisu is Ramarajan and Ilaiyaraaja’s 25th film, following projects like Enga Ooru Pattukaran (1987), Shenbagame Shenbagame (1988), Karagattakaran (1989), Ooru Vittu Ooru Vanthu (1990), and more. Director Kasimayan, dialogue writer Rajagopal and production executive Ram Prabhu also joined Ramarajan as he thanked Ilaiyaraaja in person. Fans were also thrilled to hear about the duo collaborating again. At a time when filmmakers openly point out delays in the delivery of music compositions at pre-release events, and composers work on the score till the last minute, Ilaiyaraaja’s quick work has become a talking point. Most composers take weeks to months to compose a single soundtrack, with a day-long turnaround for an entire album being rare. However, Ilaiyaraaja has been known for his quick work in a career spanning five decades, which has delivered numerous iconic hits.
“For my film “Kadavul Thandha Parisu” (A Gift from God), my elder brother—a true “God of Music”—composed six songs in a single day and completed the recordings within just a few days, delivering exceptional tracks. My heart is filled with gratitude!” wrote Ramarajan, adding, “I shall remain forever indebted to him…” The picture shows the duo smiling as they pose together.
