The
event
was
star
studded.
Veteran
director
Bharatiraja
was
releasing
the
audio
launch
of
his
new
film
Bommalattam.
All
the
stars
of
Tamil
Cinema
were
at
the
event
-
music
maestro
Ilayaraja,
director
K
Balachander,
Kamal
Hassan,
action
star
Arjun.
Bharatiraja
is
returning
to
directing
films
after
a
long
time.
The
film
will
be
made
simultaneously
in
Tamil,
Telugu
and
Hindi.
Balachander
handed
over
the
first
copy
of
the
audio
to
Kamal
Hassan.
Ilayaraja
was
overseeing
the
event.
Ilayaraja
said,
"I
usually
don't
attend
and
functions
held
within
the
industry.
I
don't
event
attend
the
audio
releases
of
the
film
for
which
I
compose
the
music."
He
added,
"Bharathi
knows
this.
But
when
he
invited
me
to
take
part
in
the
audio
launch
of
Bommalattam,
I
readily
agreed
to
come.
We
have
had
a
very
good
relationship
with
each
other
ever
since
our
younger
days.
If
I
were
not
to
take
part
in
this
function,
then
my
years
in
this
industry
would
be
deemed
meaningless."
Bharatiraja
responded
to
this
compliment
saying,
"What
Raja
said
came
straight
from
his
heart.
He
and
I
have
been
friends
for
a
long
time.
One
thing,
I
would
like
to
make
clear
here
-
without
Ilayaraja's
scores,
my
films
are
nothing." KRG,
the
