'Universal Hero' and Padma Shri Kamal Haasan was present at the audio release of Azhagar Malai at his Alwarpet office. Azhagar Malai has music by 'Isaignani' Ilayaraja and is produced by Karumari Kandasami and Sangili Murugan.
Speaking at the function, Kamal said a maestro like Ilayaraja is born only once in several hundred years! He also went on to praise the legend for his contribution to Indian music and especially Tamil cinema. Kamal Haasan has always remained a staunch Ilayaraja loyalist even in this age of electronic synthesizers and techno music.
He went on to add that Ilayaraja adheres to music in its purest form that can never fade out!
The much-awaited audio CD release happened towards the end the function. The film is shot in Madurai and interestingly, Ilayaraja also appears in a few scenes for a song which has been pictured around the place where he grew up. Also, several locations like Ramana Ashram at Thiruvannamalai and his mother's memorial at Pannaipuram are shown.
Ilayaraja and producer Sangili Murugan are coming together after a very long time. Azhagar Malai stars R.K., Banu, Napoleon, Lal, Manivannan, Suganya, Saravanan and Sona.
Director S.P. Rajkumar and producer Lakshmana Moorthy were also present at the event.
