Prime Minister Modi graced the occasion of the 36th Gandhigram Rural Institute Convocation ceremony in Dindigul, Tamil Nadu.

It is pertinent to note that Yuvan Shankar Raja was honoured with Kalaimamani Award in 2018 for best music direction. 

While A R Rahman has wrapped up his long tour of the US and Canada, Ilaiyaraaja was in Budapest, Hungary and both the icons arrived in Chennai and had a sweet catch-up.

Ilaiyaraaja will become Rajya Sabha MP at a high time when India has welcomed Droupadi Murmu as its 15th President.

As the nominees are getting closer to decorating a six-year term in the Upper house, let's take a look at them. 

Ilaiyaraaja's nomination was a bolt from the blue for a sea of people as there haven't been major speculations that the musical icon would get a seat on a towering floor. 

Ilaiyaraaja himself had said in an earlier interview that ‘A Beautiful Breakup’ was a challenging project as he had done music score for the Hollywood film.

Weeks after writing an analogy of comparing Prime Minister Modi with the father of the Indian Constitution Dr Ambedkar, the legendary musician has got a special birthday wish from Modi. 

It has now come to the revelation that Ilaiyaraaja has received summonses from the GST Chennai's unit for allegedly evading the service tax.

Tamil music director James Vasanthan has penned a scathing note against Ilaiyaraaja in which he asked what's his motive in hailing Modi on a similar scale to Ambedkar.
