Ilayaraja who participated in this celebrations said,” I was born on June 3^rd. Since the birthday of Chief Minister Kalaignar falls on the same day, I had postponed my birthday by one day right from my young age.

I have requested the Chief Minister to open a Music University. When God makes up his mind, our thalaivar (leader) will also make up his mind. At that time my dream will be fulfilled. Many are asking me who is my heir. The world does not belong to anyone.

There is no heir for me.” Producers Council president Rama Narayanan, FEFSI president V C Guganathan, director Balu Mahendra and Shiva conveyed the birthday wishes to Ilayaraja. Ilayaraja cut his birthday cake and fed thousand poor people.
