Ilayaraja’s experience

Pazhassiraja’s Tamil audio launch took place in Chennai today. Those present at the venue were Sarathkumar, Ilayaraja, the film’s director Hariharan and producer Gokulam Gopalan among others. With the film due to be released for the Tamil audience soon, the Ilayaraja compositions were, no doubt, the most expected.

Speaking at the function Ilayaraja said that the story of a film is the real super star and not the actors that have a prefix Super Star and Supreme Star. He also shared his experiences while working for Pazhassiraja. The veteran music director said that he composed the music for a sequence which will show the people living as refugees in their own homeland and it was great experience to bring out the feel the director wanted.

Notable among the absentees was Mammootty who played the title role in the film.
