Ilayaraja
of the 80s means magic. Timeless
magic at that. Ram Gopal Varma,
a smart man, is all set to recreate
the magic in his Shiva 2006. He
has requested the maestro that he
use four of the composers tunes.
Two of the four reused tunes consist
of Botany Classumthaan (Udhayam
– A Nagarjuna and Amala starrer),
Vidiya Vidiya Nadanam (Manirathnam’s
Idhayathai Thirudathey). Both those
numbers were huge hits and are evergreen
in the hearts and minds of music
fans across South India.
