Ilayaraja Tamil Movie News

Veteran Drums player, music conductor and percussionist Purushothaman passed away yesterday on the 19th of May. He was 65 years old and has been working with Isai Gnani Ilayaraja for over 40 years. Purushothaman was suffering from a few medical issues and had been under treatment for a while. His wife had passed away very recently, the couple have two children. Purushothaman has been working with Ilayaraja for over 4 decades, almost from his first film Anakali, till now. He was a drummer basically; he used to play drums and other percussions and also used conduct the orchestra. He has worked with him in almost all Ilayaraja projects including non-film projects like How to name it and Nothing but wind. 
 
Purushothaman’s death is not only a huge loss to Ilayaraaja but to the entire musical fraternity. Music directors like SS Thaman and Sean Roldan have expressed their grief on Twitter - “Puru uncle the #grooveman for the legend #ilayaraja sir The man who introduced digital rhythm programming in 1980’s . Very loving caring person encouraged me a lot in my struggling days with his machines to study & learn . Rest in peace uncle We miss U #purushothaman” - SS Thaman

Director Mysskin's comeback film as a director after a gap of three years, the recently-released, Psycho, stars Udhayanidhi Stalin in the lead role and hit theatres worldwide on January 24. Mysskin has returned as a director with Psycho after he made the hit detective mystery thriller, Thupparivaalan, with Vishal, in 2017.

Produced by Arun Mozhi Manickam under the Double Meaning Productions, Udhayanidhi Stalin's Psycho has Nithya Menen and Aditi Rao Hydari as the female leads with music composed by 'Isaignani' Ilaiyaraaja. With promotions for the film still being carried out by the makers, an intense new Psycho sneak peek scene has been released where we see actor Rajkumar Pitchumani playing the character named Angulimala stabbing an unsuspecting young girl repeatedly.

The reviews for Psycho are already out with critics and fans acknowledging director Mysskin's latest effort with much praise while laurels are also being showered upon the film's lead stars and composer Ilaiyaraaja for his songs and stunning background score.

Watch the riveting Psycho sneak peek scene below:

Director Mysskin's upcoming film, Psycho, being planned for a worldwide release on January 24, is one of the most anticipated films of 2020 as it marks the critically-acclaimed filmmaker's first film after Thupparivaalan in 2017. A psychological thriller, the upcoming film has Udhayanidhi Stalin playing the lead role with Nithya Menen and Aditi Rao Hydari as the female leads and features music by 'Isaignani' Ilaiyaraaja. With less than three weeks left for the film's theatrical release, promotions for Psycho are taking new flight as the melody track, 'Neenga Mudiyuma' sung by Sid Sriram with lyrics penned by Kabilan has now been officially released online.

There is quite a lot of excitement surrounding Mysskin's Psycho as the film had an intense and thrilling teaser released not long back. Furthermore, 'Maestro' Ilaiyaraaja's first song in the film, 'Unna Nenachu', released a while back turned out to be a hit among fans. Psycho has been produced by Arun Mozhi Manickam under the Double Meaning Productions banner and will be clashing with Jiiva's action political drama, Gypsy, also releasing on January 24.

Check out the 'Neenga Mudiyuma' lyric video from Psycho below:

Psycho, the upcoming psychological thriller film is written and directed by one of the most acclaimed directors in Tamil cinema Mysskin. Psycho feature Udhayanidhi Stalin, Nithya Menen, Aditi Rao Hydari, Ram, Singampuli and Shaji Chen in important roles. The film's music is composed by Ilaiyaraaja and the cinematography is handled by debutant Tanveer Mir. Psycho is produced by Arun Mozhi Manickam under the banner of Double meaning production. The movie is at the final stages of production and the team has now released the official teaser of the film.

Udhayanidhi Stalin seems to be playing a blind man in the film and the teaser shows glimpses of the lead character. The teaser of Psycho is packed with the undeniable Mysskin stamp and promises a tale you have never experienced before. Interestingly, Mysskin has composed the music for the teaser. Check out the teaser of Mysskin's Psycho below,
