Superstar Rajini was ignored by Ilayaraja..!? Reason..?

Although there are many music composers in tamil cinema, ilayaraja has a special place. Moreover, there can be no fans who are not mesmerized by his melodious songs. To that extent, he controlled tamil cinema during the 80s. Even now, his music has many fans. In that way, ilayaraja has also composed music for many leading actors' films. Out of which he mostly composed music for the films of world hero Kamal Haasan.
Many movies like Punnagai Mannan, Guna, Virumandi, and Nayagan are still in the minds of fans. In that way, their alliance was seen as a winning alliance. Thus, ilayaraja, who composed most of Kamal's films, avoided only Rajini's films. Although ilayaraja has composed music for several Rajini films including Ejamaan and Veera, he is said to have avoided Rajini films after a certain period of time. Because mass songs will have more importance in a superstar's film.
It takes some time to tune in. But at that time, ilayaraja was terribly busy with other films, so he avoided Rajini's films. Not only that, even when he was approached for Rajinikanth's Linga, he turned it down for some reason.
After that AR rahman composed music for that film. It is said that ilayaraja, who was giving more importance to Kamal films, did not compose more music for Rajini films because of these reasons.
