At
a
music
release
event
for
‘Padikkatha
Pakkangal’,
a
dispute
flared
up
following
Vairamuthu’s
speech,
leading
to
a
fiery
exchange
with
Ilaiyaraaja.
Vairamuthu
subtly
implied
that
debating
whether
music
or
lyrics
is
superior
demonstrates
a
lack
of
understanding,
without
explicitly
naming
Ilaiyaraaja.
This
indirect
jab
provoked
a
harsh
response
from
Gangai
Amaren,
who
openly
criticized
Vairamuthu
and
warned
him
against
speaking
ill
of
Ilaiyaraaja
in
the
future.

Gangai
Amaren’s
outspoken
critique
and
the
circulation
of
this
confrontation
video
have
sparked
widespread
discussion.
Fans
humorously
speculate
that
this
feud
might
climax
in
the
upcoming
Ilaiyaraaja
biopic
starring
Dhanush.
They
also
express
disappointment
over
Gangai
Amaren’s
approach,
feeling
it
undermines
Vairamuthu’s
contributions
to
music.

In
the
midst
of
this
controversy,
Vairamuthu
tweeted,
hinting
at
his
ongoing
tiff
with
Gangai
Amaren.
He
reaffirmed
his
belief
that
lyrics
form
the
core
strength
of
a
film.
This
tweet
has
led
fans
to
ponder
if
it’s
an
indirect
reply
to
Gangai
Amaren’s
earlier
comments.

Vairamuthu
also
shared
his
experiences
working
on
smaller
films
due
to
fewer
opportunities
in
big-budget
projects.
He
praised
the
team
of
‘FINDER’,
a
film
featuring
his
lyrics,
for
their
visit
and
gratitude.
He
highlighted
the
importance
of
even
small
successes
in
challenging
times
and
advised
the
director
to
choose
Tamil
titles
for
future
projects.
