Ilaiyaraja, the Tamil maestro, is all set to enthrall the Malayalee audience once again after the recent super hit songs from films such as Rasathandram and Achuvinte Amma. Pazhassiraja, a film directed by Hariharan and scripted M.T. Vasudevan Nair, is a historical film based on the life of a warrior king of Vayanad, Pazhassiraja, who valiantly fought against the British rule. The film has already created huge expectations among people. Mammootty is going to play the lead role and Tamil action star Sarath Kumar is also tipped to play a crucial role in the film. The previous film of Hariharan-M.T. team starring Mammootty, Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha, was a runaway success both in box office and at award-distributing ceremonies.
This will be the second time that Ilaiyaraja scores music for a historical Malayalam movie, with Kalapani being the first. It seems nowadays that the maestro is selective while taking Tamil film assignments. Or it is also possible that he may not be as sought after as he once was. Anyway, Tamil’s loss has been Malayalam’s gain.
