Megastar Amitabh Bachchan felicitated music composer Ilaiyaraaja for completing music of his 1,000th film. Amitabh also shared his experiences working with Ilaiyaraaja, and said that he never dared to sing in front of the maestro. “I have never dared to sing in front of him because I found it very embarrassing. Every time I used to sit in a studio separately to record… I remember one occasion while doing ‘Paa’, where I had to sing a song with Raja saab in front of me. I can’t say how frightening it was,” Amitabh told reporters during the music launch of “Shamitabh.” Big B described Ilaiyaraaja as “a genius”. “It was amazing how he corrected me. Thanks for the opportunity.” The megastar also shared his experiences on working with Ilaiyaraaja with Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan.
