Thambikku Entha Ooru

While composing "Kadhalin Deepam" song, music composer Ilaiyaraaja was hospitalized after a surgery and therefore unable to sing, so he composed this song by whistling and sent the notes to his studio. During the recording and rehearsals, the composer would be available over phone to make corrections, and when the song's singers S.P. Balasubrahmanyam and S. Janaki were recording, they practiced the whole tune and sang it over the phone while Ilaiyaraaja made the necessary corrections.
