Ilayaraja had sued the makers of the movie demanding Rs 2 crore as compensation stating that his song played a pivotal role in the massive success of the film and that the latter hadn’t sought his permission to use the song.
Ilayaraja asserted that he holds all legal, moral, and special rights to the song 'Kanmani Anbodu Kaadhalan'.
She said it was Bhavata who got Hariharan, Bombay Jayashri, Vasundhara and Sunita Sarathy to work in her debut movie.
Singers Sujatha, Haricharan, K S Chithra, among others expressed their grief on social media.
The national award winner died after a prolonged illness in Sri Lanka.
Lydian, who made India proud by winning the CBS talent show, 'The World's Best' in 2019, took to Twitter to make the announcement.
Ilaiyaraaja's compositions gave a unique touch to Ratnam's poetic canvas onscreen.
Legend has it that SPB bumped into Raja in a recording studio and told him that he was also a singer and why is he not being called to sing any of his compositions. Raja responded saying he will record a song with him the next morning.
The funeral is scheduled to be held on Saturday, sources close to SPB's family said.
In a tribute video, Ilayaraja, visibly upset and struggling to speak, said ‘this sadness was unfathomable and endless.’
