No one can replace Ilaiyaraaja in Indian cinema: Bharathiraja

The movie directed by Babu Yogeswaran has Vijay Antony essaying a rebellious character.

“In his career spanning more than 1,000 movies, this is the first time Ilaiyaraaja Sir has composed music for another music director's film. And, I am honoured to be the chosen one,” says composer-turned-hero Vijay Antony at the audio launch his upcoming film Thamezharasan.

“So far, Raja Sir's music is the biggest influence on me to choose good scripts. While listening to the story, I always keep his music in mind. I can say that it was Isaignani who actually scored for my chartbuster album Pichaikaaran. He has given extraordinary music for Thamezharasan”, says Vijay Antony.

The movie directed by Babu Yogeswaran has Vijay Antony essaying a rebellious character. Remya Nambeesan will be playing his romantic interest.

Speaking at the audio launch, veteran director Bharathiraja said, “No one in India can match Raja's talents in music. He has got the magical touch of making an ordinary film an extraordinary one through his music. I may have differences of opinion with him on the personal front. But I am proud to admit that all my films were talked about only because of his background score.”

Remya Nambeesan, Robo Shankar, Madhumitha, producer FEFSI Shiva, Suresh Kamatchi, T.Siva, Mohan Raja, Pon Radhakrishnan and Vanathi Srinivasan were among those present at the event.
