There
is a vast discrepancy in the success rates
of the two sons of Ilayaraja, viz Karthik
Raja and Yuvan Shankar. Though these two
started their career in the tinsel world
almost at the same time, Karthik is not
able to click like his younger sibling.
This
has created some kind of anxiety in
the mind of their legendary father.
On the other hand, Yuvan has already
carved a niche for himself and has
reached a level where music albums
are sold just for his name. Yuvan
is slowly taking the place of Rahaman
and has developed a style for himself.
Wanting to do something for his elder
son, Ilayaraja has given all the remix
rights of his songs for Karthik. Attempts
are also being made to make Kamalhassan
sing the re-mix songs. Popular singers
also have been approached for this
venture. The response that remix songs
have been receiving is quite noteworthy.
Re-mix
is very popular especially with the younger
population. Hence, as a father Ilayaraja
does not want to leave any stone unturned
for his elder son Karthik. Whether Yuvan
would use his dad’s songs for remixing
any more should be waited and watched.
