Leading Tamil film composer D. Imman shared the sad news of iconic pianist Rajeevan David's passing away on social media on Wednesday night. Known best for his Tamil album, Manavaazhvu, Vol. 1, comprising of 17 songs and released in June 2006, he also was D. Imman's tutor at the beginning stages of his career, with the chart-buster Tamil music director taking to social media to express his condolences on his mentor's demise. A celebrated name in Western Classical music in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Rajeevan David's funeral was held at the Kilpauk Cemetery, with family members and close friends paying their last respects. A video from the funeral proceedings is also on YouTube and shows several people close to the late Rajeevan David paying their tributes. 

D. Imman has often both celebrated and extended his prayers for musical artists throughout the course of his career. He has once again come forward with his words of respect and this time for pianist Rajeevan David and his family. Sharing a photo of the late Rajeevan David, he tweeted, "Rest In Peace #RajeevanDavid uncle. A Classy Legendary pianist. One of my music tutors. My heartfelt condolences to his dearest family and friends. My prayers. #RIPRajeevanDavid". 

As for D. Imman, he is currently attached to a number of high-profile upcoming projects in Tamil cinema among which include 'Superstar' Rajinikanth's Annaatthe scheduled to hit screens as a Diwali release in November, followed by Suriya's Etharkkum Thunindhavan, 'Makkal Selvan' Vijay Sethupathi's Laabam and the Jyothika and Sasikumar-starrer Udan Pirappe, to name a notable few. Post the blockbuster success of 'Thala' Ajith Kumar's Viswasam in 2019, expectations for D. Imman's future projects shot up, especially after he was announced to be coming on board for a Rajinikanth film for the first time. His theme for the Annaatthe title motion poster has since received a huge response and all sights are on the album, which can be expected to be out as the film nears its theatrical release date.
