SP Balasubramanyam To Sing For Ilayaraja!

This is some news!

In a twist of tales and five decades of friendship, SPB and Ilayaraja are into and a spat and fans are really confused on whose side they must stay and show support. A legal notice has been sent to the singer by none other than the music director Ilayaraja himself. Hence, the singer can no longer perform any of Isaigyani’s songs without his permission. If done so, the singer will face a heavy penalty for violating the Copyrights.

However, according to latest reports, SPB is all set to sing for Isaigyani but not in any movie. It is for a grand ceremony for the composer hosted by the Nadigar Sangam. The Nadigar Sangam is reportedly planning a felicitation ceremony for the music director. Top singers including SPB, whose friendship with Ilaiyaraaja spans over five decades, are said to have been roped in for performances at the event. It is also said that the person trying to create peace between the two is none other than the Sangam’s President Actor Vishal.

SPB, who is currently touring for the SPB50 in the United states of America, received a legal notice from the director while he was there. The singer who has been doing the tour for quite a long time now, said, “My Son designed this world tour and we kick started this SPB50 concert tour in August in Toronto, then we performed in Russia, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai and did lots of shows in India too. I did not get any feelers from Shri. Raja’s office at that time. I don’t know why now when we started our US tour.”

Responding to SPB’s public Facebook post, Ilayaraja’s Copyrights consultant E.Praveen Kumar told The News Minute, “We are not compelling orchestras or musicians who are surviving on Ilaiyaraaja’s music to pay up royalties. We are only concentrating on people who are earning lakhs or crores by using his creations. SPB is not doing charity shows. They are minting money and the composer doesn’t get 1 rupee. It his work and creation.”
