We had reported that music maestro Ilaiyaraaja visited Superstar Rajinikanth at his residence yesterday. Pictures of the meeting have been doing the rounds on the internet. It seemed like Ilaiyaraaja had just made a courtesy visit.

However, after exchanging pleasantries and having a long conversation, Rajinikanth seems to have asked Ilaiyararaaja if he had any work, for which the music mastero had responded to him saying that he is heading to the rehearsal for his upcoming music concert in Coimbatore, which will be held on the occasion of his birthday on June 2.

We hear Rajinikanth invited himself for the rehearseal and took Ilaiayraaja on a ride in his own car. It seems the Superstar spent quite some time listening to the songs and also clapped along with the singers. Ilaiyaraaja had scored music for a number of films of Rajinikanth and their friendship dates many years

Rajinikanth had met Ilaiyaraaja at his newly-built studio in Chennai last year. Ilaiyaraaja had converted a private theatre into a music studio after he had a fallout with the owners of his previous studio where he had been composing music for decades. Since then, Ilaiyaraaja has had a stream of visitors at the studio. 

Rajinikanth's elder daughter, Aishwarya Rajinikanth, too, had met the maestro not long ago and pictures of the composer sharing some musical notes and candid pictures of the duo had surfaced on the internet. Aishwarya had written on her social media page after the meeting, "My Monday mid noon couldn’t have been more musical n magical 🎹🎼 always a delight to spend time with my dearest @ilaiyaraaja uncle …🧡#mondayvibes #workmodeon🔛 (sic)." To which Ilaiyaraaja had replied, "am happy to meet and spend time.. many things may happen in one’s life but one thing will never change - my true love.. God bless you…@ash_rajinikanth be happy always.. Everything must change… But one thing will remain the same, that’s LOVE..❤️ https://youtu.be/7F1wgI2M-Vo (sic)."

About the music concert in Coimbatore, Ilaiyaraaja had shared on his social media page, "happy to perform in Coimbatore on my birthday.. come and enjoy the songs you all love the most.. see you all.. (sic)."
