00:00 He's my schoolmate. We did school together.
00:03 And since then, we've been friends.
00:08 Still in the journey.
00:10 I know you're a big fan of Ajith.
00:14 Sweet person. Very warm person.
00:16 There are a lot of expectations from the news of Kalapathi 68.
00:21 Definitely it'll be superb.
00:23 Alright, alright. Nice.
00:25 Don't get tensed, relax, don't get excited.
00:30 Why are you so nervous?
00:32 Because the person sitting next to me is our musician Idhaya Raja's son.
00:39 Also known as the son of the music industry.
00:41 Let's welcome the BGM king, Ewan Shankar Raja.
00:45 Hello. - Hello.
00:47 Very very happy to be seated next to you.
00:49 I should be your big fan.
00:52 Okay, sir. How's Malaysia?
00:54 Superb, as usual.
00:56 As usual? - Yeah.
00:57 Last year, there was a UN25 concert.
01:01 So it's a massive hit.
01:03 After that, a trend was formed in Malaysia.
01:06 Back to back concerts.
01:08 And for Malaysians, it's an unforgettable concert.
01:12 So fans are expecting more on a high on UN concert.
01:15 So what can we expect?
01:17 Obviously, I'm going to give them a musical experience of everything.
01:21 And we're going to tweak certain places.
01:26 Usually, we don't do this at all concerts.
01:31 So we'll have something else from what we've already planned.
01:37 Alright.
01:39 So you've tied our hearts with many songs.
01:43 And the BGMs, your humming, everything.
01:47 So which one composition is very close to you?
01:50 I know it's a very difficult question.
01:52 You can ask me.
01:54 It's nothing like that.
01:56 Because as a composer, I'm still in search of that song.
02:00 So I don't think I'll get that satisfaction.
02:04 Okay. Alright.
02:06 So we're going to play a game with you.
02:09 It's like a rewind.
02:11 We'll show you some pictures.
02:13 So if you remember anything, just share it with us.
02:16 Alright.
02:17 This is the picture.
02:19 It's very cute to see these reactions.
02:22 I think it was when we were doing RE2.
02:29 And I think Dhanush came to sing a song for Selva.
02:35 So these reactions are very cute.
02:38 What happened in each reaction?
02:41 So usually we were taking pictures.
02:44 Then we thought we could do it differently.
02:46 So I'm holding my ear. I'm not playing.
02:49 We did it spontaneously.
02:51 So nice. Okay.
02:53 Next picture. Your first film.
02:55 Tell us about your experience.
02:57 Because now when you look back, how do you feel?
03:00 I thank the Lord for making me...
03:05 to keep me where I am right now.
03:09 So...
03:11 When I was making this film, I used to rent a keyboard.
03:16 Oh!
03:17 Yeah. I didn't have my own keyboard.
03:20 So I used to rent a keyboard.
03:22 That's what I remember.
03:24 So back then to here.
03:26 Yeah.
03:27 So...
03:28 Yeah.
03:29 I had a great experience working on the film.
03:33 And it taught me a lot.
03:36 Thank you, sir.
03:37 Next. Family.
03:39 Family picture, I think.
03:41 This is an old photo.
03:43 Yeah.
03:44 I took it when my mom was alive.
03:46 So yeah.
03:47 I think I made a few films back then.
03:52 I think I'll watch Afterpool.
03:54 Yeah.
03:55 Alright.
03:56 Are you close to your brother or your sister?
03:59 I can't choose.
04:01 So both are like your eyes.
04:03 Alright. Next picture, sir.
04:06 Yeah.
04:07 Your wife.
04:08 We took this in Taj.
04:10 We don't actually click a lot of pictures.
04:16 Even me, myself, I don't take a lot of pictures of myself or something like that.
04:21 So I think we took this picture when we went out for dinner.
04:27 Nice.
04:28 So she's the reason behind your love for BGMs.
04:31 Yeah.
04:32 Alright.
04:33 Yeah.
04:34 Your best friend.
04:35 Yeah.
04:36 I took this picture when I was in 6th grade.
04:39 So I worked on BGMs back then.
04:43 Tell us about him.
04:45 He's my schoolmate.
04:46 Oh.
04:47 We did school together.
04:49 And since then, I've been doing this.
04:54 Still in the journey.
04:55 Yeah.
04:56 Nice, sir.
04:57 So this picture.
04:59 I took this picture when I sang that Goa song.
05:02 I used to work in a studio called Kalasar.
05:05 The studio is no more now.
05:07 So I used to work in that studio.
05:12 So I took this picture from there.
05:14 When I look at this picture, I feel like the boys, the cousins.
05:19 Because you both have the same vibe.
05:24 So it's a very rad thing.
05:26 Alright. Next.
05:28 Thalapathy.
05:29 Yes.
05:30 Thalapathy, '68.
05:31 Since the news came out, fans are excited to see the outcome.
05:36 And also, there are a lot of expectations.
05:39 I know still the work is going on.
05:41 How are the talks and work going?
05:43 No, nothing has started yet.
05:45 We have to meet Venkat Prabhu, hear the story.
05:48 Yes.
05:49 Did Thalapathy say anything?
05:50 Definitely, it will be superb.
05:52 Alright, alright. Nice.
05:54 Last.
05:55 Ajith.
05:56 I know you're a big fanboy.
05:58 So tell us about him.
06:00 He's a sweet person.
06:01 Very warm person.
06:03 He'll call me after the movie.
06:06 He'll ask me if I like the movie.
06:10 He's a very sweet person.
06:13 Alright. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.
06:15 It's a great pleasure.
06:17 And I wish you all the very best for the concert.
06:19 Keep us high on music.
06:21 Yes.
06:22 Thank you.
