Veteran
music composer, singer and lyricist, Ilaiyaraja is a name that needs no
introduction. The music maestro, in a span of over four decades, has won the
hearts of music buffs not only in South India but all over universe thanks to
his masterpiece score in Hindi movies as well as in English.
The
legendary music directors turn 71 on June 2, 2014 hence to mark the great day 'Isaignani
Fan Club', the registered fan club of Ilaiyaraja has decided to celebrate his
birthday in a unique style. Instead of cutting the customary cake and having
fun the fan club has decided to plant 71,000 saplings across the state of Tamil
Nadu and save mother earth from global warming.
According
to reports the club was officially launched on April 5, 2014 by Bhavadharani,
daughter of Ilayaraja, along with her team at Madurai. Karthik Raja, the eldest
son of the maestro, is the chairman of the club. The club boosts over 10
million registered members, including singers and musicians. The club has an
official website and those ardent fans of Ilayaraja can get recent updates

The
brainchild behind the club is P. Veluchamy, who has also produced a film ‘ORU
OORLA’ having music by Ilaiyaraja. In an interview he said, “I have been
cajoling Ilaiyaraja sahib to have an official club but Ilaiyaraja sahib always
turned down my request as he wishes to have his music as the only connection
between him and his fans but after several months of insistence I was able to
influence him and he nodded.” He added, “Since Ilaiyaraja is a down to earth
human being hence we decided to celebrate his birthday in such a way that
appeals to him and when we purposed the idea of plating sapling he was
overjoyed.”
Ilaiyaraja
who has over 900 films to his credits in multiple languages and is presently
busying busy composing tunes for R. Balki's yet-untitled Hindi film and few
South Indian movies.
