Arvind This is going into Non-ARR arena but cant help clarifying things. Mella Thirantha Kathavu was an album for which MSV collaborated with IR. Both were given credit for the album. Not just that, both did couple of devotional albums too. Coming to Hey! Ram, L.Subramaniam was originally signed for the film. However, Kamal Haasan had a fallout with him and went to his favourite Ilaiyaraaja. The tunes in Hey! Ram, that we hear(d) are completely composed by Ilaiyaraaja and anyone who can follow ilaiyaraaja' s style of music can confirm the same. Infact, if you can youtube a bit, you can find videos of recording sessions of that album. None of the L.Subramaniam' s tunes were used in the film and Ilaiyaraaja being a strict disciplinarian has never allowed/took credit for any other composer (exception being his son Karthik Raaja, who worked on couple of pieces in some of IR albums such as Raasaiyya). It happened only once, in 1977, when he was forced to use a superhit Hindi song in telugu and he reluctantly had to give in that time, since he did not have much voice in the industry. I am aware that this is purely Non-ARR topic, but i wanted to clarify so that facts are known about all the artists involved (be it L.Subramaniam, Ilaiyaraaja, MSV). Coming to Punnaghai Mannan Theme, if we have any musicbuffs here who are knowldegeable about Ilaiyaraaja' s composition style and his school of thought, they can vouch that the theme music was composed by him. ARR programmed it and his contribution was not miniscule. I would credit the track to both. But the tune, it has IR written all over it.

Pls dont try to create a controversy by making baseless allegations! And The Hindu article that you mention - do you have a link for the same? I dont remember reading anything like that! Does anyone recollect AR saying something on Punnagai Mannan theme? IF so, pls post the link! In this Rahmania interview, Suresh Krishna very clearly says that the full song was composed by AR. And, one more thing - your statement that "e.one knows that ir want to be the sole personin creating music in his films" is not true either! With due respect to Ilayaraja, there have been quite a few cases where someone else has composed the music and IR has got the credit.. The recently well documented one is that of the song "Ooru Sanam" (and a few other songs too) in "Mella Thirandhadhu Kadhavu" which was composed by MSV, but it was credited to IR! When IR was at his peak, and MSV had almost hit his nadir, he was working as a an arranger for IR's recordings and Mella Thirandhadhu Kanavu was one such project where MSV worked for IR... and MSV actually composed the tune. S.Janaki revealed this a few years back in JAYA TV Raagamalika show in the presence of MSV, and has made it a point to bring this up in almost every stage show she attends! Most of the songs in Hey Ram were composed by Legendary Violinist L Subramaniam, who was initially the composer of the film... He mentioned very clearly in his Kumudam interview that most of the "Hey Ram" tunes were his, and he felt very very bad that he wasn't credited, and instead IR was credited! With such a history, it is hard to doubt the news that AR composed PunnagaiMannan theme, but was not credited! All the "assumptions" on which you make ur arguments dont hold good! Pls back up ur arguments with facts, and pls dont create unnecessary confusion in the group!

Director Suresh Krishna, who was the guest on Rahmania radio show, mentioned that the first "computer song" was completely composed by Rahman. It was a very nice interview, and Suresh Krishna shared lots of stuff about Rahman before Roja, during the audio launch of Roja etc. I've uploaded the interview in the usual location: http://rahmania. 4shared.com Here's the direct link for the file http://www.4shared. com/file/ 101594154/ cc8e8119/ DirectorSureshKr ishna_SangamamBa ba_.html I will post the transcript soon.
