TFM Stories, Tit-Bits and Anecdotes

Topic started by Sathiya Keerthi (@ panorama.nus.edu.sg) on Mon Apr 6 02:26:53 EDT 1998.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

The aim of this thread is to collect, at one place, interesting
stories, anecdotes, tit-bits etc, related to TFM. A newcomer to
the forum will find this collection very interesting to read. For
example, Ramki mentioned the following story in another thread:

Do you remember the 'vizhiyil vizhundhu' (alaigal oyvadhillai) song?
Andha situation BRkku suddenaaga thondra, VMkku outdoor shootingil irundhu
phone seidhu kettuLLaar. VM phoneliye lyrics solla adhai tape seidhu
udanae IRkku anuppa, IR Janaki, Shailaja, PS ellariayum koppitturkkar
but no one was available. BSS mathram dhan mattirkkanga so avangalukku
adichadhu adhirshtam. The whole song was done in just 2 hrs time.
Annikke song shoot panni mudichittaangalaam.

Folks, please share any such stories, anecdotes and tit-bits that
you know, in this thread. If TFM Group thinks it is sufficiently
interesting, they could even place it in Permanent Topics.

  Probably he got fired due to DFers calling him `menace' and other names:-)

  Shankar,
  
  It's been a long time since DSR did a review in "Hindu". Maybe, the editor also shares our DFers' sentiments;-))

  Parthi Bhaskar, s/o RD Bhaskar (IR's brother) is going to direct a film called `ramanA'. BTW, his dad (now no more) was the producer of Alaigal Oyvathillai, Kozhi koovuthu, Rajathi Raja... all films with great music by IR (AO, in all probability, was funded by IR)
  
  Music for `Ramana' is not IR, but Deva! The reason: IR is sithappA but Deva is FIL!:-))

  News 1
  
  Yuvan has earned a name for TV serial music and is getting lot of offers for composing for TV serials. KR is now assisting his dad. He has mostly helped his father in conducting and recording the BGM for Hey!Ram.
  
  News 2
  
  Says KC may not get released. Though the film has been completed 1.5 yrs back and censor-certified, there is lot of outstandings
  to the artists. The producer may sell it off to private TV channels it seems.
  
  It also points out to the recent incidence of loss suffered by Kadhal Rojave producer to the tune of 1.5 crores due to delay in releasing the film.

  I can assure you that ARR is not in London at the moment. He comes over for a short period(1-2 weeks at a time for example), but flies back. Shekar Kapoor is looking after him when he's here. It's as usual, even though it is being publicised now, ARR used to be in London at least once a month, to use recording studios.

  By the way, he used to read this forum a lot, but hasn't done so in about 2 years!
