Music maestro Ilayaraja suffers chest pain

24 Dec 2013

If you are one of those die hard music lovers who grew up listening to the likes of Appu Raja, Sadma, Shiva, Anjali, Cheeni Kum, Paa and others, then, the very name of the music maestro Ilayaraja will surely ring a (musical) bell in your ears. He is the same music composer whose smash hit track 'Rakkama Kaiyathattu' from the Tamil film Dalapati has been listed as one among world's top ten songs by BBC.

Well, the not-so-good news is that he suffered from chest pain yesterday while he was practicing for a function which is to be held on December 28. He was then immediately hospitalized in Apollo Hospital, Chennai. As per the latest reports, he is stable now and is likely to be discharged soon.

We wish the ailing musician a speedy recovery.
