After wandering around the tfmpage.com & the hub for more than a decade, I'm quite convinced that Raja NEED NOT do a symphony to prove his greatness

If he does, I'll be happy. If he does not, I'll still be happy

One thing he has made very clear is the "commercial non-viability" of scoring for a symphony. (I can interpret his statement about technology only this way).

Cine music pays him and he does that.

If symphony / xyz music pays him sufficiently, he will do that as well.

That's all about it, very simbil
