2 people competed with ilayaraja & won the Oscars..!?

Now let's look at the similarities between Oscar-winning indian music composers AR rahman and Keeravani. The 95th Oscars ceremony was held yesterday. The most awaited rrr film's Naatu Naatu song was given an oscar award. Apart from this, India's documentary short film The Elephant Whisperers also set a record by winning the Oscar. The whole of india is celebrating this moment as the oscar dream of indians has now come true. Wishes are pouring in for the two oscar winners.
Earlier, music director AR rahman won two Oscars in 2009 for Slumdog Millionaire. Next to this is keeravani who is currently winning. However, since Slumdog Millionaire is not an indian film, keeravani aka Maragatamani holds the distinction of being the first music composer to win an oscar for an indian film. oscar winners AR rahman and keeravani both have one thing in common. It was director K. balachander who introduced both of them as music composers in Tamil.
Both AR rahman and keeravani were introduced through the films produced by Kavitalaya Productions, which he runs. Balachandar introduced AR rahman through his film Roja. He also introduced keeravani through his directorial film Vaname Haman. Although Azhagan was Keeravani's first musical release, his first commitment was Vaname Haman.Do you know why balachander introduced them both? ilayaraja was the top music composer at that time.
Although Balachandar has given many hits to him, due to resentment of him at one stage, AR rahman and keeravani are the two horses who were dropped to replace him, and fans are proud to share that both of them have now won Oscars.
