I used to remain within the visitor home there and compose songs for two-three movies. Director Mahendran and KRG (producer KR Gangadharan) took me there for one such session. Me and my troop have been composing day by day and since KRG had a home in Coimbatore, he used to drive backwards and forwards. One night, he got here again from house and stated to me, ‘Hey, your spouse has given delivery to a boy.’ Look at me, even then I used to be busy writing songs as a substitute of being with and taking good care of my spouse. It did not matter a lot to him both. When I bought the information, I used to be composing the track Senorita I really like you from Johnny… Rajni sir’s movie. And the boy born at 0 that day was Yuvan! Happy birthday, Yuvan (sic).
Senorita I Love You is certainly one of Ilaiyaraaja’s hundreds of hits. It was sung by late singer SP Balasubramaniam. The track was written by Ilaiyaraaja’s youthful brother Gangai Amaran. Johnny (1989), directed by Mahendran, starred Rajinikanth, Sridevi, Deepa, Balaji and Suruli Rajini within the lead roles.
