Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan is personally inviting celebrities to honour Ilaiyaraaja for completing working in 1000 films. With an average estimate of 5 songs in a film, that will add up to 50,000 songs and the Isaignani has worked on the background score as well for all the movies. It is only natural for him to achieve this, as we hear he composed the 'Piddly song' sung by Amitabh himself in just 3 seconds.

Apart from movies, he has also composed for independent albums like Thiruvasakam and also for dance performances like Swappnam. It is a great gesture from the Big B to felicitate our own maestro Ilaiyaraaja who mesmerises us with his music. It is an added pleasure that Ilaiyaraaja, Amitabh Bachchan and PC Sreeram - three legends will come together and work on our National Anthem, which will be a tribute to our Nation and our National Anthem and to Indian Cinema.

The latest news on this event is Superstar Rajinikanth has reached Mumbai to join this celebration. His son in law Dhanush is also a part of the movie Shamitabh. So, he is there with the team to wish and bless them, and add more grace to the event. Stay tuned for more updates...
