The music director Illayaraja has composed music for more than 1000 movies and recently the 63rd National Award was announced. Illayaraja was announced the National award for his “Thaarai Thappattai” movie as the Best Music director.



The award giving function was held at New Delhi on May 3rd and Illayaraja did not attend the event. Amitabh Bachchan, Kangana Ranaut and SS. Rajamouli have also received the National award for their wonderful performance in their field. The composer has now explained the reason,



In the letter wrote by Ilayaraja he said, "Cinema is a combination of Direction, Cinematography, Editing and Music. A music composition proves the mettle of the composer. The Award should be given for a composed based on the songs, re-recording and background score. But what is the use of recognition in bits ? I think this is not the way to present a National award."
