'No matter how good you are you can always be replaced' is a
famous quote. But if there are two musicians who can never be replaced, it has to be Ilaiyaraaja and AR Rahman, well, at least for
Tamil music lovers. These two gentlemen cannot be replaced simply because they were a part of music evolution that took place
many years ago. If Ilaiyaraaja made us revert to Tamil music at a time when music lovers were heading towards Hindi cinema in search of decent music, AR Rahman, on the other hand redefined
Tamil music, by taking it to the next level.
