The saying in Tamil that “Kamban veetu kattuththariyum kavi paadum (The weaving machines of Kamban will also sing poetry)” holds good in the case of Rajya Sabha MP Isai Gnani Ilayaraja.
Yes, all his children have made him proud by proving their versatility in cine music. The announcement regarding this came just few days before Yuvan’s birth day, which falls on August 31. Isai Gnani Ilayaraja, who is in Budapest, the capital city of Hungary wishes his son in his twitter handle @ilaiyaraaja ‘Happy Birthday, Yuvan @thisisysr @IMMOffl’ on Wednesday.

One of his sons, the versatile music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja is known for his use of Western music elements and often credited with having introduced hip hop to the Tamil film and music industry. He has made a name for himself within a span of 25 years by working in over 100 films.
To mark this silver jubilee, recently he has held live concerts in Tamil-dominated Singapore.
The craze for Yuvan Shankar Raja and his music has no boundaries, literally. This was evident in the way in which the tickets for his concert were sold out in Malaysia within the first 45 minutes after the bookings were opened. This is the first time that something like this has happened in Malaysia.
It is not just that, Yuvan also became the only star to perform back to back concerts on consecutive days in Malaysia. This shows the love that the fans have for the music composer and vice versa. Seeing this craze, the Little Maestro has been approached to perform in at least seven concerts across countries.
I'm super stoked to be performing in front of my favourite crowd at Namma Chennai on September 10th. This time it's going to be "U & I"… Come, be a part of the magical night!
அன்றும், இன்றும், என்றும்,
உங்கள் Yuvan🎟️ https://t.co/B9eKjVZQ1N pic.twitter.com/uiQ8yTQTDZ

The concert was organised to celebrate the completion of 25 years of Yuvan in film industry. Titled Yuvan-25, the event was conducted in Kuala Lumpur at the Axiata Arena complex in Bukit Jalil.
The composer was quite delighted with the response to the two-day concert and shared his thanks to the fans on social media. “I feel soo overwhelmed. #Yuvan25 KL will be special forever. Thank you for the love. You guys are awesome! I love you all, “tweeted Yuvan, acknowledging the love he got from fans during the concert.
Yuvan had recently announced he will soon be conducting a concert in Chennai. He said the concert has been titled ‘U & I’ and will be organised by the Arise Entertainment at Nehru Indoor Stadium on 10 September.
Ever since the announcement was made, fans of the music composer have been eagerly waiting to get more updates about the event.
Yuvan will be performing in the hometown after almost 11 years and the fans are already pumped up about it.
