00:00 Vanakkam.
00:02 A director or a screenplay teacher will have a confusion at the beginning.
00:09 I have all these.
00:11 Where do I start this story?
00:14 Do I start with what I have encountered?
00:17 Do I start with where I saw it for the first time?
00:20 I don't know. I know Pavala Pradoshan.
00:23 I thought Amar was Ilaiyaraaja.
00:27 We were going to a function.
00:30 Ilaiyaraaja was sitting there without getting up.
00:33 Someone else was walking towards him.
00:36 That's all I knew.
00:39 After that, I started enjoying music.
00:45 In a few days, I became an 'anna' (elder brother)
00:48 I became an 'ayya' (elder brother)
00:51 Now everyone is connecting.
00:54 He has composed a love song for Guna and Abhirami.
00:59 No, that is our love song.
01:02 The letter I wrote for my eyes, he has composed a song for it.
01:09 It is a wonderful thing.
01:12 When I see the director's work, it is a great work.
01:18 When I had to sing a sanyasa mantra, Ilaiyaraaja said,
01:26 "Don't try to sing. Leave it. It will come."
01:31 I got a big class in singing that day.
01:36 Don't try to sing in a SPV voice.
01:42 You have something in you.
01:44 It is enough if you get that.
01:48 He is giving you the advice to be that easy.
01:54 I am saying that too.
01:56 Easy. That is what Dhanush said.
02:00 The pressure is 1000 times.
02:02 But how do you see him?
02:04 If you want to take, you can take 8 parts.
02:08 If you don't like Raja, you can take a movie.
02:13 But no matter how you take it, the music director will be alone.
02:18 Even if you don't like it, you can't deny it.
02:23 They will start with 6 beats.
02:27 Yes.
02:29 But 1 beat song is enough.
02:32 We were talking about this even now.
02:37 I like people who are jealous.
02:42 I can understand music.
02:45 I don't have any other desire.
02:48 I am not jealous of him.
02:51 I am happy that I have done everything he does.
02:55 My father doesn't know how to sing.
02:58 He knows only the music to the extent of Sanitapar Maharaj.
03:03 But he will enjoy it.
03:05 He will say, "I have to sing. I don't know how to sing. You have to learn."
03:12 I see him from my father's point of view.
03:16 He learns what I don't know.
03:18 That is what Bharathiraja said.
03:20 I was surprised and I went on for years.
03:26 There are many angles about him.
03:31 There is a story about his colleagues.
03:35 There is a story about musicians.
03:38 There is a story about people who use Ilayaraja as their diary.
03:47 There is a story about my wedding.
03:50 There is a story about my first child.
03:54 Many people have spoken about it.
03:56 Everyone says that he lived in the era of his life.
04:03 Even if I am not born today,
04:05 even if I am born in another 100 years,
04:08 I will live in the era of his life.
04:11 Because he is music.
04:15 He will be there.
04:17 To give an example,
04:20 there is a musician named Amadeus Mozart.
04:29 He is a great musician.
04:32 He will be there.
04:34 He will be in a bad state of mind.
04:37 He will go to see him.
04:39 He will say, "I heard that you are a great musician."
04:42 "I have composed great music."
04:46 "I am a composer."
04:47 He will say that and play.
04:49 "Is this what I composed?"
04:51 "Is it? Haven't you heard it?"
04:53 "No."
04:54 "Then play another one."
04:56 "It is very good."
04:58 "Have you heard it?"
04:59 "No."
05:00 He will play another one.
05:04 He will sing along.
05:06 "Oh! This song is composed by you."
05:10 "No. That was Mozart."
05:14 He will start the film from there.
05:20 That is Ilayaraja.
05:23 There must be thousands of musicians to say that.
05:25 I told him that there is a function in the evening.
05:34 If everyone is talking without thinking,
05:36 he should come from here.
05:38 I told him that we have to sing a song.
05:44 Once again, I am telling the director,
05:47 tell the truth that you want to say.
05:53 Don't take pressure.
05:57 Because this film is not only about the musician Ilayaraja.
06:06 It is about Ratna Ilayaraja.
06:13 This is not a wish.
06:15 It is a demand.
06:18 It is our demand.
06:21 There are few languages in this film.
06:23 Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi.
06:26 There are many languages in India.
06:29 He will include all of them and take them to the film.
06:35 He said, "Dhanush, guide me."
06:39 He will guide you through music and give you the road.
06:43 You can go to all the places.
06:45 You have to go.
06:47 I am not jealous.
06:52 I told him that it started with "Sir", "Andai", "Aiya".
06:58 Now, there is no difference.
07:00 When he gets praise, I feel like I should get it.
07:04 I am taking this film with that kind of appreciation.
07:08 I have many things to say.
07:13 But after this, there are many opportunities to talk about music,
07:17 tour, premiere, victory.
07:21 There are many opportunities to talk about it.
07:24 Let's talk.
07:25 Congratulations.
07:26 Good bye.
