Gangai Amaran – Ilayaraja
‘Ganga’ reunites with the sea of music.
Yes many years later composer and director Gangai Amaran has met his brother composer Ilayaraja.
The photo taken when the two met is currently going viral on the internet.
At 8.30 pm last night, composer Gangai Amaran wrote on his Twitter page, ‘Thank you for the meeting today! Relationships Sequel… !!! ‘ He shared the photo taken when he met Ilayaraja after a long time.
In the post, Ilayaraja tagged his son composer Yuvan Shankar Raja, his sons director Venkat Prabhu and actor Premji and expressed his happiness.
The event, where the two brothers met almost 13 years later, is currently being shared on social media by music fans as a happy thing.
Division that occurred due to disagreement
Gangai Amaran, who directed films including ‘Karakattakkaran’ and ‘Enga Ooru Pattukkaran’, is a versatile actor, composer, songwriter and actor.
He has composed music for more than 50 films, including ‘Wallless Paintings’ and ‘The Magic of Life’. Similarly, Gangai Amaran has written many hit songs such as Senthurappoove in ’16 Vayathinile ‘and Nittam Nittam Nelluchoru in’ Mullum Malarum ‘. Composer Ilayaraja and he have worked together on several films.
In this situation, due to a disagreement that arose during the filming of ‘Chinna Ramasamy Periya Ramasamy’, news came out that the two were not talking and did not meet at family events.
Reunion
It is in this context that Ilayaraja and Gangai Amaran met and talked last night after 13 years. Gangai Amaran has shared the photo taken at that time on social media. Actor Premji and Venkatprabhu shared this photo of ‘Pavalar brothers reunion !!!’ Have shared their happiness with the title.
I contacted composer Gangai Amaran for BBC Tamil to talk about this happy encounter.
“The two of us met almost several years later. I left as soon as he got the call to meet me last night. He inquired about my health and work. ‘We have not talked for so many years, what’s more! That’s why I called,” said the brother.
This is what I have been waiting for all these years. We talked for almost an hour and a half. Only then did I get out of there.

In between I was unwell. Inquired everything about it.
He and I were good friends beyond being brother and sister.
I’m so sorry that friendship is gone.
Glad to get it again. During the time we both worked together before, he would compose music and ask me to set aside some work for him.
That work will continue in the future. From now on the two will definitely work together. Thank God at this time. “
