Ilayaraja, in March 2017, sent a legal notice to popular singer S P Balasubrahmanyam, and asked him to not perform songs that have been composed by him without his permission. The legendary musician has time and again said that legal action will be taken against those who use his composition without his permission. With regard to Echo hearing, the court said that music that has been composed by Raja sir is only for theatrical purposes but not for any other medium.” The court has accepted that the agreement the company and Raja sir signed is valid only for 5 years. We argued that this was only a period of 5 years and it not valid after that. They got the approval in 2007 but they have been exploiting after 2012 also. AGI said whatever rights it has got, it got it for 10 years. Indeed, true friendship may take a break but never breaks.E Pradeep, Ilayaraja’s lawyer said: “There were two cases, one in 2013 and one in 2014. "I am the only person who has right to call him that way." And the audience went berserk. At a stage show, SPB once proudly said that none can dare call Raaja ‘dai’ except him.

Though this gesture by Raaja is late, I appreciate the effort," says the violinist. Their reunion is glorious news for the industry, which is grappling with problems. On the contrary, SPB never stops praising people. I have played for him but never received an acknowledgement from him. The maestro is a difficult person to deal with. Violinist Kalyanasundaram is all in praise of SPB for breaking the ice. He vociferously supported SPB and lashed out at his brother for having restrictions and insisting on royalty. One person who stood out in the running feud was Gangai Amaran. Those days, none dared to leak industry secrets, but now because of social media nothing escapes the public eye," says Ram. The fight between the two is not new, they have had their differences in the past and that’s how singer Mano came in. If Raaja became god of music in the Tamil industry, SPB should be given equal credit for his growth and vice-versa. Their coming together couldn’t have been at a better moment," says film historian and actor Mohan Ram. Though SPB was a beginner, he spoke about the brothers to directors and producers he met during his singing sessions. "During the 1970s, it was not easy to enter films.

It was SPB who drove Ilaiyaraaja and Gangai Amaran on his scooter and introduced them to filmmakers. By breaking the ice, both have shown that what is important is music and not personal ego and anger." Though there have been problems between the duo before, it had never been this long or bitter as their friendship dates to the early 1970s, when the Pavalar brothers were struggling to enter tinsel town. Financial aid is the need of the hour as many families are dependent on it. We are doing the show to help the singers’ union association. "This is the best news for the music industry and for me. Singer Mano blamed social media for magnifying the problems. Allegations and counter-allegations flew thick and fast and music lovers watched the entire drama with disappointment and dismay. What began as a small issue blew out of proportion, after SPB performed in the US without paying royalty to the maestro.

The best birthday gift for the composer who plans to hold a show with his favourite artists - SPB, Yesudas, Mano and Usha Uthup. They will come together at a concert on June 2. Chennai: Ilaiyaraaja may have composed "Poda ellam vitu thallu pazhasai ellam suttu thallu puthusa ippa porandhomunu ennikollada doi" (Leave everything, burn old thoughts just think we were born today) for ‘Thalapathi’ as just another number but the words still hold good for the maestro and singer S P Balasubrahmanyam who have patched up after months of bitterness.
