On the occasion of Maestro Ilayaraja’s birthday, his daughter Bhavadharini recreated the legendary musician’s classical album Nothing But Wind. This album comprises five tracks which he had composed along with acclaimed musician Hari Prasad Chaurasia. The live concert was held on Saturday evening in Chennai.

After listening to the live band, the ecstatic Isaignani remarked, “I am extremely happy to see the tracks played to perfection by the troupe today. All credit should go to Bhavadharini for getting the act right.” He also revealed that he had lost the musical notes of Nothing… long ago, but Bhavadharini had managed to rewrite the notes by listening to the album.

Ace lyricist Valee revealed an interesting fact about Nothing But Wind. “The album had six numbers. But only five were used and recorded by Ilayaraja. Kamal Haasan, an ardent fan of Ilayaraja happened to hear the sixth track. Deeply impressed by it, he used it in his film Sathya which later turned out to be the super hit song Valaiyosai Kalakala.”

Liked the banter between Raja, Uttam Singh and Bosky. "Sir, once in a while you have agree you are great"

I probably mistyped it here. What Bosky was saying was something like ""Sir, once in a while you have to agree you are great" or "Sir, you have to agree that you are great."

FYI that was not bosky but uttam singh who said the exact words "Raaja sometimes you have to admit that you are great"
