Karthik Raja, son of the renowned Maestro and Music Director, Ilayaraja, has created remixed musical performances of the best of Ilayaraja's compositions for a Hyderabad based mobile exclusively.
Karthik Raja has chosen a mix of popular hits and hidden gems from the maestro's incomparable body of work, which is bound to excite music fans everywhere.
Old fans will go down the road of nostalgia, while young fans will get to groove to the new treatment that Karthik Raja has given to hits like Uravenum (Naadodi Thendral) and Maaman Machchaan (Murattuk Kaalai).
The highlight of the first installment from Karthik Raja's studio is the performance by Kamal Haasan for Ninaivo Oru Paravai, a song he originally rendered in the hit movie, Sigappu Rojaakkal, way back in 1978!
Another nugget that Karthik Raja has brought to light from the mountain of gold is Kaalai Nera Kaatre (Bhagavathipuram Railway Gate). Other hit Tamil songs such as; Kodai Kaala Kaatre (Panneer Pushpangal), Oru Ganam (Naadodi Thendral), Thulli Yelunthathu (Geethanjali), Varam Thantha (Sippikkul Muthu), Samngathil (Auto Raja) and Manjal Nilaavakku (Muthal Iravu) complete the repertoire of the first 10 releases under this initiative.
Karthik Raja who is working on nearly 80 of Ilayaraja's hits in all the South Indian languages said, "The idea of a remix project aimed at the mobile phone generation appealed to me. I guess you can say, we are taking my father's timeless music to a new generation of fans, with a little help from me!"
