	Ilayaraja - Telugu cinema real stars - Velugu Needalu by Srinivas Kanchibhotla
		Post his arrival, Ilayaraja's career moved along two parallel and equally rewarding paths - one, where his music aided the cause of the movies (the ones with Viswanath, Vamsi etc), and another, where his music provided the lifeline to the movies (the commercial potboilers made under the rest).
		As much easy as it was to dismiss the songs in the latter catetory, considering the output turned in by Ilayaraja, it is quite apparent that he made no distinction between the two in his mind, in terms of the opportunity, creativity and finally the equality in quality.
		The hundreds and hundreds of songs that Ilayaraja had composed for such kind of routine, regular dancing fares duets and the innumerable number of memorable tunes he chalked out of such situations speak volumes about his prowess and his passion.
