Filmmaker R. Balakrishnan along with the cast of “Shamitabh†will honour music maestrol Ilayaraja during the film's music launch Tuesday. The director, who is also popularly known as R.Balki, told we are celebrating 1000 films of Ilayaraja, but I want to clarify that “Shamitabh†is not IIlayaraja's 1000th film. Southern director Bala's film is the 1000th film of IIlayaraja.†The entire team of 'Shamitabh' will be honouring him on January 20, and it's also the audio launch of Shamitabh. Shamitabh features Amitabh Bachchan, Dhanush and Akshara Hassan in pivotal roles. Earlier, Big B had said that the music launch of the film would also see the launch of a trailer, which will help viewers understand the story of 'Shamitabh'.
