I could feel that Dir Vasanth was tempted to say that the computerised song in Punnagai Mannan was done by ARR. Somehow, I feel it was ARR 's work altogether. No offense meant to Illayaraja .
Anybody here has any idea on this, ( or has this been discussed here before ) ( Hopefully I am not opening a pandora box, and people dont start fighting whether ARR or Illayaraja is better or bigger ) Illayaraja would have surely taken the assistance of ARR for composing that bit. Its an awesome composition.
