Regarded as one of the finest music directors of our country, ‘Ilaiyaraaja’ himself is an attestation of unconventional and venerated music, for any film. Astutely, R.Balki has joined forces with the music maestro ‘Ilaiyaraaja’ to step a notch ahead for his much awaited film ‘Shamitabh’.

Akshara Haasan’s debut, Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha’s on-screen reunion and Dhanush’s comeback were all perhaps not enough for R. Balki thus he dragged the music genius for composing the music of ‘Shamitabh’ after his hit ‘Paa’. Being ‘Ilaiyaraaja’s 1000th film, Shamitabh has stood itself in another good stead. Well this isn’t all ‘Ilaiyaraaja’ has even composed a song for the film which bestow an ode to the Indian film Industry.
