Ilayaraja’s tunes in Bollywood

Director Balki is once again directing a film with Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Vidya Balan in the lead. The director had earlier directed the three in Cheeni Kum. Speaking about this film, Balki said the film stresses that every child has an adult in him or her and vice versa.

Interestingly, the film, titled Pa, will have the Big B playing Abhishek’s son. The director says that dealing with such tricky issues and reaching it to the audience is a challenge that he likes to take upon.

Balki is a self confessed fan of Ilayaraja. He says that the glorious music of Ilayaraja did not reach the northern audience and hence would be using his tunes in Pa.
