At the airport, AR Rahman runs into Ilaiyaraaja and declares, “TN is always the destination”

At the airport, Ilaiyaraaja and I are both returning from separate countries, but our final destination is always Tamil Nadu, says AR Rahman.

The renowned composer Ilaiyaraaja and composer AR Rahman shared a selfie video on Instagram on Thursday when they crossed paths at Chennai International Airport. Both of them were returning from different countries, but Tamil Nadu was their final destination, according to AR Rahman’s caption.

We are returning from many continents, but our final destination is always Tamil Nadu (sic),” AR Rahman said as the video’s caption. Ilaiyaraaja was arriving from Budapest as AR Rahman was departing from the US, he said. At the Chennai airport, both ran into one another.

Fans expressed their delight at seeing them interact in the comments area. Many of them used heart emojis in their replies. The image was dubbed legendary and epic by some. Enough happiness for the day (sic), read one comment. The best post to start our day with, according to singer Nivas.

Ponniyin Selvan, the upcoming film from Mani Ratnam, is something AR Rahman is eagerly anticipating. This is his fifteenth endeavour with the seasoned veteran.

At the CII Dakshin 2022 – South India Media & Entertainment Summit, which was put on by the CII, Southern Region, AR Rahman recently made a comment regarding the representation of South Indian actors in films. AR Rahman gave a powerful speech about celebrating differences and bringing people together via art.

He cited an incident during his seven-year vacation to Malaysia, saying, “I met a Chinese guy there. He was a gentleman. He was expressing his preference for India and the fairer people of North India. Their films are far more endearing.

The statement, according to AR Rahman, severely distressed him. “I was baffled as to how he arrived at the opinion that North India is superior. I questioned whether he had ever seen southern-produced movies. I felt quite uneasy. Casting people with colour, in my humble view, is what we need to do. Make them more effective. Give them personas that will elevate them. South Indians should prioritise this since we value our culture.
