Yuvan Shankar Raja, the younger son of Isaignani Ilaiyaraja, has completed 20 years as a music director. He made his debut in the Sarathkumar starrer 'Aravindan' that released on 28 February, 1997. Yuvan has scored music for over 100 films and still retains a top spot among music directors of Tamil cinema. He has also carved a niche for himself as a playback singer and will be making his debut as a producer with 'Kolaiyuthri Kaalam' starring Nayanthara.
“I am sustaining because of the love of my fans. The ups and downs during this period had not deterred me. Music is my passion. I am a born musician and will remain the same till the last. I deeply thank my fans from my heart for all their support in all these years. I take this opportunity to thank all my producers, filmmakers, the stars, the media and the fans for reposing faith in me. I am grateful to my father for moulding me with a sound attitude that could let me concentrate on music. My 20th year will be marked by the production of my maiden film as a producer 'Kolaiyudhir Kalam'. Talks are on to announce my next project at the earliest,” says Yuvan in a thank you message to fans and media.
