Musician ilayaraja, who has composed music for more than 1500 films in tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and hindi languages, continues to compose music for films in competition with the young composers of today. Moreover, he is proving his music kingdom in recently released movies like Viduthalai, Custody, and Modern Love.
He created a new musical revolution by using the traditional musical instruments of the Tamils such as Urumi and Parai, while tamil films were dominated by Western musical instruments and the influence of hindi film songs. Recently, there have been many controversies about ilayaraja, which is an important part of tamil cinema. Moreover, in the information that has come out now, ilayaraja has been insulted by a director who won a national award. Not only that, he has won without him. Though the films like Kaaka Muttai, Kootrame Thandanai, Andavan Kattalai did not collect much, director Manikandan gave quality films.The last Vivasaayi was directed by him and vijay sethupathi and yogi babu played the lead roles in the film, where a 75-year-old man played the lead role. He first got ilayaraja to compose the music for this film. He had done only the background music and sent it to the world cinemas. After that due to a difference of opinion, ilayaraja threw it away saying that he didn't need it, and asked santhosh narayanan to compose the music. The film did not reach the masses in a big way. But the quality film won the National Award and earned Manikandan a good name. ilayaraja regretted saying that so far he has never been humiliated like this in this cinema. A complaint was then filed against Manikandan in the music Composers' Association. It was accused that he sent the film based on his music to the cinemas of the world and dumped him when it became successful. Despite having a good name, Manikandan was scolded by ilayaraja fans.
