Thank You Dear Kathy! Here many people love IlaiyaRaaja deeply. Some have started calling him God. Even Mr. Balki, Director of Cheeni Kum has stated that, “He worships this Man.”

And Mr. ManiRathnam, the Director of this movie,  “Mouna Ragam”, has said this:
ManiRatnam, puts IlaiyaRaaja on a higher pedestal, and lavished praise on the maestro’s re-recording, so important for a film. IlaiyaRaaja would look at the scene once, and immediately start giving notes to his assistants, as a bunch of musicians, hovering around him, would collect the notes for their instrument and go to their places. When the orchestra played out the notes, they would be perfect, not just in harmony but also in timing - the background score would commence exactly where it should and end at the exact place required, pointed out ManiRatnam, amidst applause. IlaiyaRaaja was a genius, he said, who could compose music with just one look at the scene.
However, for a director, there was just one handicap. “IlaiyaRaaja will listen to you as you explain the scene, and what he intends to convey. Once the film rolls, IlaiyaRaaja’s gaze will be on the screen and a few seconds later, papers would go to the musicians giving them the score, and then there would be no further changes. A director can be taken by surprise at the speed of events. If at all you want to convey anything to IlaiyaRaaja, it must be before he watches the shot (before the background score is added) on to the screen,” said Mani amidst both laughter and applause. - Maniratnam
