The latest issue in the cinema industry is the royalty issue of “
Ilayaraja
.” Ilayaraja sent a legal notice to “
S P Balasubrahmanyam
” and “K. S. Chithra.” SPB posted it on his Facebook and screwed up the fans. When many people started criticizing Ilayaraja, SPB said that the media need not magnify the issue and he will deal with it. When
Gangai Amaran
was asked about Ilayaraja’s decision to register the royalty of his songs, Gangai Amaran said, “What will he do with all the money he has? He just eats 2 idlis and 2 chapatis. Asking for royalty is unjust.” This had hurt many fans of Ilayaraja. Soundaryan, a musician, said that Gangai Amaran’s words hurt the fans of Ilayaraja. If Gangai Amaran couldn’t help Ilayaraja, he shouldn’t have opened about this issue, says the music director.
