It was again in 1977, that producer K.Balaji had turned to IR for his lighting his Deepam. We have already seen that in his very second year, he bagged the prestigious TN State Government Award for his awesome score in "16 Vayathiniley". In the coming years, these numbers would only increase more and more. The sheer numbers of his films speak volumes of his increasing popularity. IR was bestowing refreshingly different and enchanting scores on film after film. Every film that carried his name as MD had songs which became assured hits as a matter of course. We have to surely begin with Ilayaraja, for he had already become the industry's blue-eyed boy.
