Legendary lyricist Vairamuthu compared the roles of music and lyrics in the greatness of a song in his recent stage speech. This speech has now courted a controversy with Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja’s family. Gangai Amaran, a veteran musician, lyricist, director and Ilaiyarajaa’s brother, hit back at Vairamuthi with a heated reply.
A controversy arose that Kaviperarasu Vairamuthi indirectly insulted Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja in his speech about the significance of music and lyrics in a good song. Following this, Gangai Amaran condemned Vairamuthu with some heated words in a new video today. This clip has been doing rounds on the internet since morning.
Gangai Amaran says in the video, “Without Ilaiyaraaja, there wouldn’t be a Vairamuthu today. He would not have gotten a chance if Ilayaraja had not used his lyrics in ‘Idhu Oru Ponmalai Pozhudhu’ from ‘Nizhalgal’. Vairamuthu may be a good poet but he is not a good man. He forgot the man who helped him in his career. If he controversially talks about Ilaiyaraaja from now on, he would have to face severe consequences.”
