I can't imagine he likes of Illayaraja putting down ARR. That must have been a stab at the formulaic songs that are being churned out in groves to feed the cheaper tastes of people who have pretty much shut down their brains and aesthetic sense! If he calls ARR's music popcorn, I wanna try some of that popcorn! :) I seriously doubt it.

As in the case of a song:<br> Sundari kannal oru sedhi (Dalapathy), Vaali has written lyrics which<br> match my compositions appropriately in the exact range and wavelength."<br> <br> Then he also said: "Today, there are songs which neither match the<br> tune nor the lyrics, but that is somewhat acceptable. They fall in the<br> category of film songs, which is different. Just like Food and Popcorn."<br> <br> "Why Popcorn SELLS more is a separate debate which we will not discuss<br> now."<br> <br> There may be nothing wrong with what he said, but it is a DIRECT<br> comment towards some of the best-sellers in the music industry today.<br> Whom or WHAT EXACTLY did he have in mind? Is A. R. Rahman or his TYPE<br> OF MUSIC a possibility that he targeted...??<br> <br> What do you think?
