The birthday of DMK chief Kalaignar Karunanidhi is celebrated on the same day. Karunanidhi gave Ilaiyaraaja the title of Isaignani. Ilaiyaraaja is celebrating his birthday on June 2 because of the respect and honor he had towards Kalaignar.

"Kalaignar has done many services to Tamil. I didn't do anything like that. So the people of Tamil Nadu should congratulate only Kalaignar on 3rd June. That is why I took this decision." says Ilaiyaraaja.

He does not restore musical instruments; He sweeps our hearts. He becomes a part of our emotions and melts into us. He is a revolution not only in the Tamil film world but also in the music world!

That is why Muthamil Vithakar, Kalaignar, deeply admired his musical technique and hailed him as 'Isaignani'.

As a fan who is mesmerized by the magic he performs with music - I am delighted to wish the great artist a happy birthday as one of you. You are forever the king who has built a fortress in our hearts and planted a flag! Long live the centuries!"
