What about Balki - the International award winning Ad Creative Director of Lowe Lintas who Karthik S corresponded with. He just replied back with an one-liner "I am one of Ilaiyaraja's greatest fans!"
Karthik S had written to him asking about 2 of IR's nos. that Balki had used in a TV commercial.

balmuralikrishna, hari prasad chaurasia, yesudas, spb, mano and unnikrishnan, all super fans, but none can match my understanding of IR' musical prowess ;--) only yesudas came close to how i feel about IR - this man has "infinite" forms of music hidden in his heart and it will all have to come out for the "good of mankind" a major statement, profound and very true.
imho, IR' genius will one day blow away minds not in India but the rest of the world. but, for that the time has not come yet. because of this:
"1000 pattu isaiyatheyn, kettavarkku gnyanam illai" (i wrote 1000 songs, but the audience does not have the knowledge)
to reach the level of IR is not human, it is a supernatural level and few people only exist in this world to really comphrehend the depth and the breadth of music, which only IR, an avatar has brought out. there may be a million die hard fans, but i don't think most of them really can evaluate the mind of IR.

BarathiRajaa was..
KamalHaasan was...
ManiRatnam initially was ...
Balachander for sometime was ...
they may still remain as his fans and say so.
but will they sign him for their next venture ?
you can still talk great about a person but when it comes for a joint venture, preference will be someone else.
good to hear BaluMahendra is still with him.
like BaluM, definitely Mahendran would have...

Friends,
HFM MD's Anand-Milind (I think their father Chitragupta himself was a great MD of yesteryears)have admitted in many places that they have been inspired by Raaja on quite a few occasions!

In tollywood: Directors Vamsy, Geetakrishna, Krishnavamsy (he made the effort to bring IR back to telugu with Antahpuram), actress Soundarya, music director DeviSri Prasad.
DevisriPrasad says, "Among music directors Ilayaraja garu is the ultimate. He is like a god to me in film music. I am an ardent fan of him"
There are many more in the list

geeth....
what was the success rate after the break up with IR. Most of them have approached IR again, but IR is not interested or he is busy as usual.
So now a days they have to really depend on their skills rather than IR. When he was the MD 50% of the films responsibility was on IR's head. His name was used to sell the Movie and distribute.

Guys I think whole technical stuff of movies are HCCIFs...only thing is they don't admit openly due to their personal industry problems....if someone fights with IR it doesn't mean they are fighting with his music also....even AR knows where he stands in front of IR ...but he is intelligent...he maintains silence...and doesn't expose his thinking !!In that thing even IR is not that matured , he just talks out and exposes his feelings without thinking.....

>>>> but he is intelligent...he maintains silence
Well IR is keeping silence, hence this much hype around him by others ok. Don't think keeping silence like ARR means matured, he is doing business only.

IR never wants a publicity nor a media savvy person. ok
So his name is written in normal size and photos are small.
That is he don't want to hurt others respect and sentiments, so he allows then to print his name in normal size and small photo too.

IR name and photos on CD & Cassette covers are just a warning signs these days. I think the small print is just a way of confusing customers.

No, not head weight. Call it 'self awareness'. He talks so because he knows what his full potential is.
And is it not true that 80% of ordinary listeners like us have not even uncovered 20% of the richness hidden in his music (that he has delivered so far).
Hold ur breath...he hasn't finished yet :-)

Kavitha,
That was not in good taste. In fact u shud thank P.Amarnath for bringing in that issue, as many people think so.
People who have met IR personally have a different story to tell. He is down to earth. A misfit simpleton amidst the acclaim seeking film world.

Kiran and Amarnath,
May be IR speaks his minds. Always keeping internal and external feelings in balance is good for all art forms. That is, if you are thinking bad about somebody, you should not hesitate to express.
I also got that feeling about IR on the first glimpse. But recently, I read an article by him about some beggar like saint in Thiruvannamalai. In that he says, what else is required in life other than the side of this saint.(or something amounting to that). My point if he is having headweight, why he will reduce himself so much before a saint whom the world even don't know.
Mostly media project him badly, because he was not kind to media.

Hi!
My point is he really values probably the character of whom he interacts and act accordingly.
In otherwords, it is the way to hold no guilt which is good for creative energy in any art form.
