M.S Viswanathan's music will stay on: Kamal Haasan
Chennai, July 14
Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan
says late legendary composer M.S Viswanathan (MSV), who passed away here
on Tuesday, has an inseparable place in Tamil cinema and his music will
always be remembered.
"MSV has blended into Tamil cinema
history. He is part of Tamil and south Indian cultural tapestry. He has
become the background score of many people's lives. They nostalgically
recount their own life with his music," Kamal said in a statement.
He also said he has fans beyond his own generation and times.
"A
good example is my daughter Shruti. She was studying music in US, and
on her return she wanted to meet MSV, for she had become his fan," he
said.
Kamal said that MSV always brushed aside his fame and glory to celebrate other artistes irrespective of their age.
"We
will only miss him in his physical form. His music will stay on. I'm
thankful to him for enriching my life with his music," he added.
MSV, 87, passed away due to old-age related issues and breathing problem.
