Gangai Amaran, maestro Ilayaraja’s
brother, who has several musical
hits to his credit, is also
an active performer on the
stage and television. He regularly
travels around the world for
live music shows with his
orchestra. He hosts several
talent hunt programs on television,
the most popular one being
Pattukku Pattu on Sun TV.
Now, he is off to Singapore
to act as the moderator of
a debate show organized there
for which the title is “Are
old Tamil songs better than
new ones?” On the team
arguing in favor of old songs
are lyricists Muthulingam
and Piraisoodan and on the
other team are Pa.Vijay and
Snehan. There is bound to
be plenty of fireworks with
Gangai Amaran’s own
pungent comments.
