		Director Balu Mahendra spoke on his 25-year-long association with Ilayaraaja, which was `beyond a mere director-music director relationship.' The two greats first worked together in `Moodu Pani,' the director's third film, and Ilayaraaja's 100th.
		Actor Nasser recalled his experience while Ilayaraaja scored music for his film `Avadaaram.' He narrated how as an eager director, he was not too convinced with the basic structure of the song `Tendral vandu...' which later turned out to be a great hit, and what his fans would call, an absolutely psychedelic number.
		Speaking on his admiration for Ilayaraaja, who is currently scoring music for his film `Maayakannadi,' director-actor Cheran said the industry should organise a grand celebration to felicitate the maestro.

		This was a first of sorts and a rather curious amalgamation of pop Anu on the vocals and classical Ilayaraaja in the background.
		Ilayaraaja is a legend down South, but a virtual non-entity in Hindi cinema.
		It's ironical that Ilayaraaja has done the background music for a film that has vocal compositions by Anu Malik, who appropriated a large chunk of Ilayaraaja's musical score in Thevar Magan for its Hindi adaptation Viraasat.

	How To Name It
		To categorize all the things, which make his style of composing unique is something that no one can pinpoint because for a period of almost three decades he has been a trendsetter with time.
		Besides being cinema song composed for situations where, the love-smitten heroes and heroines graze the grass either in Mysore Brindhavan gardens or the lush greenery of Switzerland (Depending on the budget of the producer), his songs has offered much more for music lovers too.
		But in his songs, be it Bilahari or Baroque; Be it a Folk or a Fugue; Be it a ReethiGowla or Rock; there is something common in all of them.

	Query
		Ilayaraaja has done just that, a mere traversal through the swaras.
		Ilayaraaja boasts of having composed songs in rare raagas like chala nattai, kanakangi etc. For example pani vizhum malar vanam in chala nattai is again a pure note traversal.
		Ilayaraaja is a class of his own & he has a compositional flavor of his own.

		Given it is Ilayaraaja's production I was expecting no free-hand for the artists.
		All the compositions have lyrics written by Ilayaraaja too and I read somewhere that older releases of the CD / tape used to have an accompanying 'lyrics' sheet.
		Ilayaraaja is like the 'gateway' to helping one become a serious jazz rasika[?].
