Kamal Haasan makes THIS special demand to Dhanush-starrer Ilaiyaraaja biopic's director
Kamal Haasan joined the official announcement of maestro Ilaiyaraaja's biopic with Dhanush in the lead, where he shared some wise words with the director.
One of the most revered and admired personalities in the Indian music culture has been the talented Ilaiyaraaja who has been often termed a maestro or Isai Gnyani, which translates to the musical sage. He first entered the Indian film industry as a music composer during the late 1970s. Now, his remarkable journey as a composer will be immortalized in a biopic, capturing the essence of his extraordinary life.
Finally, after a lot of speculation, it was officially revealed today that Dhanush will be playing the lead role in the upcoming movie. The talented director who previously helmed Captain Miller will be taking charge and directing this exciting project.
As the chief guest at the film’s launch, Ilaiyaraaja’s long-time companion and actor Kamal Haasan was present where he spoke about the upcoming film and conveyed his advice to the film’s director, and demanded him to remember that the film is not just about the life of Isai Gnyani Ilaiyaraaja but also about Bharat Ratna Ilaiyaraaja.

The biopic titled Ilaiyaraaja stars Dhanush in the titular role with director Arun Matheswaran stepping into the role of director, making it his second collaboration with the actor after their 2024 flick Captain Miller. Interestingly, making a biopic also seems like a challenge for the director as all three of his previous films were purely action-driven movies.
The movie unveiled its first glimpse today and it's now official that the director is on board, with Nirav Shah handling the camera. The music for the film is anticipated to be composed by the maestro himself, and it will be released in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages.
