Q: What is your advice to today’s singers and music directors?

A: They don’t have the maturity to listen to the advice of elders.

Q: What is the lesson that you’ve learned in your long film career?

Q: It is said that your life is being televised as a serial …

A: Yeah, Vijayraj, my staunch fan and the assistant of director A. C. Thirulokchandar is producing the serial. It will be telecast on Kalaignar TV shortly. I visit my native place, the places where I had lived, I meet my music directors, singers and actors with whom I had been associated during my career at their houses for this serial. My fans and my family members are also shown in the serial. The functions in which I was felicitated had also been included. The serial would serve as a good guide for the future generation.
