MAESTRO ILAIYARAAJA NEWS & TITBITS VER.2010

[inetk]

Ilayaraja, the person, is quite different from his music. They are not the one and the same. He can be anything he wants to, his personal choice. And he can utter anything he wants, arrogantly or not. His music is what matters, and as a composer nobody is evolved enough to dispute his genius. Connecting his utterance after this award, to his personality and eventually, to his music, is like saying people hate Rahman for the CWG theme. People hate the theme music, not the person - and some people misunderstand that hatred and direct it towards the composer. Quite unfortunate - in both cases.
