Dhanush Talks About The Ilaiyaraaja Biopic
As per India Today, he said, "I'm a fan and a devotee of Ilaiyaraaja. His music is my companion and it suits everyone. More than that, his music is my acting teacher. I used to listen to a song or BGM before a scene - and his music tells me how to act in the scene. That's how I act. Vetri Maaran has seen that. Many say that it's a huge challenge and responsibility. But, I don't think so. I know his music will guide me. He's been there with me and will always be there with me."

He said, "As an artist, it's an honour to be part of this project. I'm immensely happy that the invite came from Isaignani himself. I'm blessed."
Kamal Haasan said, "I don't know where to begin about Ilaiyaraaja. My relationship started as a fan, then became a brother and now we are equals. I become happy whenever he achieves anything and it's same for me as well. Everyone thinks 'Kanmani Anbodu' is a love song for Guna and Abirami. But, no, it was a song for us."
