Ilayaraja to be felicitated

Music maestro Ilayaraja has scored the music for more than 1,000 films and 5,000 songs. He has also rendered 500 numbers and won the national award five times. To honour his achievements, Tamil Film Producers Council is felicitating ‘Isai Gnani’ with a two-day function at a gala event titled Ilayaraja 75. Top actors and technicians from all south Indian languages including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, besides Hindi who have worked with the maestro are expected to attend the event and share their experiences with the music maestro.

The function is scheduled for February 2 and 3, 2019 at YMCA Grounds in Chennai. Shooting for the said two days has been cancelled to ensure that the entire Tamil film industry will grace the occasion, and make it a memorable one.
