It is a wish-come-true of sorts for fans of Ilaiyaraaja and Vairamuthu, who have been yearning to see the two work together again. Though they will strictly not be collaborating with each other, these two legends are coming together for a song. The maestro will be singing the lines of the lyricist-poet in a song in Idam Porul Aeval, which has music composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
Talking about the development, the film's director Seenuramasamy says, "After 28 years, Raaja sir has agreed to sing the lyrics of Kaviperarasu. The last song which Ilaiyaraaja had sung with Vairamuthu's lyrics was apparently Adi Aathaadi from the 1986 film Kadalora Kavithaigal. When I requested Raaja sir, he agreed mainly because I'm also a devotee of Ramana Maharishi, whom he follows. I should also thank Yuvan for making this possible."
Some sections of the media had wrongly reported that Ilaiyaraaja will be singing a song written by Dhanush but the director clarifies that it will be Vairamuthu's lyrics that the Isaignani will be singing. "It will be an 'amma' song and Vairamuthu sir is still finalizing the lines. We will be recording the song soon," he adds.
The composer and the lyricist, who had forged a great partnership in the early 80s, broke up towards the end of that decade for reasons that the two have been reluctant to talk about in their interviews. Rumours about them teaming up again have been cropping up now and then, but it is only now that the two have actually come together for a song.
