“I was talking with him for half an hour. He was talking nicely without any fights,” Gangai Amaran added.
Elated to meet his elder brother, Gangai Amaran further said from now on, they both will be happy together, and it was a tragedy not to speak for 13 years.
“It’s not like that anymore. I’m happy now. I’m going home happy,” he added.
To share the news with his friends and family on Twitter, Gangai Amaran announced that he met Isai Gnani Ilayaraja. Posting the image from the meeting, Gangai Amaran captioned, “Today’s meeting… Thank God Relationships Sequel… !!!”
It is said that the musician Ilayaraja had come to Chennai at an early age with his three brothers in search of opportunities in the Tollywood industry. The four were united even in poverty. Music composer Ilayaraja and filmmaker Gangai Amaran have worked together on many projects, including Karakattakkaran.
