  Not sure why no one has responded to this thread...
  
  GA could have been the guy who initiated IR to score music but coming out in this way doesnt justify his words... Also, his comments that IR doesnt know about the outside world are really weird...

  KP, of course IR and family attended the wedding of Venkat Prabhu. I was present on the day and they were there.

  Gangai amaran's sentiments are understandable. I would believe what he says.

  IR does not know the outside world -- very true!
  
  GA's feelings about his brother are believable.
  Just curious, would IR know about this interview?
  
  btw, GA thinks that he is a good poet but I don't remember any of his film songs 'poetic'. He wrote 'ae aatha athorama vaariya' and degraded himself. I liked his 'uravugal thodarkadhai' in aval appadithan. Are there any other goods of his worth mentioning?
  
  Anyway, I wish IR and GA workout something and strengthen their family ties!

  GA's has contributed quite a bit to tamil cinema and TFM.. and I dont think he really has any problem singing for other MDs.. he sang for Deva in Solaiyamma long back.. so a few of his comments in the interview are true... May be his constant jalra of saying 'annan illayaraja' let him down after IR reduced his no. of films.. :)

  cho,
  
  GA wrote 'mannil intha kaathal indri' from Keladi Kanmani.
  
  In the movie it is supposed to have been written by their brother Pavalar Varatharajan. But, it was actually GA who wrote it.
  
  I am sure there are other gems of his out there that I don't know about.
  
  So he certainly had the potential, given an opportunity.

  A MESSAGE TO ALL IR FANS.
  
  ARR destroyed IR's career is a fact, in the last 10 years how many albums of IR beat ARR in the sales.
  Kadulu mariyathai sold well. So was Sethu.
  How many songs in friends were good?
  Remember the Kumudam article by Kalaipuli thanu he said Kamal wanted to sell the music of Abhay to a particular company because they paid for Hey ram and it didn't sell well, he even showed the 500 rs advance that the music company gave Thanu.
  
  Poor IR couldnt do well in a period film but ARR gave a similar period film Laagan soul stirring music that sold like hot cakes all over India and the world.
  
  
  After a brilliant Thalapathy, IR should have been offered hindi film music, i don't know why nobody offered IR a decent good budget hindi film.
  probably they thought he cant do it.
  
  Water finds its own level, similarly Talent cant be contained.
  IR can never give hindi music with authenticity that ARR gave.
  
  ARR graduated from TFM to HFM and now world music.
  IR is still here in TFM.
  
  IR did earn a lot of money till 92, so after that he should have done less work, make sure each song is heard everywhere, he should please both the masses and classes.
  He didnt he was self obsessed with his music, that proved so bad to his career.
  
  Manirathnam dropped him off after a great album like Thalapathy, Balachander doesnt work with him and so is his dear buddy Bharitiraja.
  All the regulars with IR dumped him and his music, so after thalapathy a possible uprising graph went downwards, its going down every day which spoils his reputation.
  
  Take an exaple of balu mahendra, his previous films like mundram pirai and eratai val kuruvi has good music but why did IR gave tunes like he did for raman abdullah and julee ganapathy.
  Weren't the tunes of these two films show any class?
  
  Why isn't IR unable to give the music he did in the past to Balu mahendra?
  he lost his pace and creativity is for sure.
  IR fans : dont talk about the few songs he gave in 10 years, if IR made 150 films in last ten years for example that is about 700-800 songs just citing 10-15 songs doesnt make any sense - realise.
  
  IR has become a kanathu thavalai, all IR fans realise this but they are unable to bear it.
  I feel sorry for them.
  
  Kamal says IR is the best but why did Kamal invite ARR to do the unity of light concert in chennai to raise funds for cancer institute? he could have asked IR to do the same but kamal being a good business man realises that IR hasnt given a great deal of superb tunes in the recent times and he is not a crowd puller. IR fans think about it.
  This will show the true position of how IR is in TFM.
  
  I read a post if society doesnt accept IR's music then they are missing something, let me tell you music is beyond any religion, even an uneducated man can tap his foot or hum to a good tune so if IR cannot produce great tunes in regular frequency people will forget him.
  for example:
  Remember the Titanic song - every night in my dreams, even uneducated persons were whistling that song - IR fans your reasons are just funny.
  
  Talent finds its level - it can never be contained.
  IR fans dont find lame excuses - your brains will accept it but not your heart.

  Srinivas,
  
  Looks like you put in lots of effort to detail ARR vs IR comparison. But Dude, you forgot to check the name of the topic. It is about GA on IR.
  
  Next time, learn to read the topic. Or even better, learn to READ.
