Sridangam Mestro Umelpuram Shivraman said that the music knowledge of the late Chief Minister MG Ramachandran (MGR) and the late TheSpian Shivaji Ganesan was unique.

Recalling his association with MGR and Sivaji Ganesan, for whom he played in the film Mridhanga Chakravarthy, Mr. Shivraman said that when there was a dispute that there was a dispute that who should play for the lead role, producer Clanganam, Music Director Ms. Vishwanathan (MSV), Civideji Ganeson, and Biradari. “

“I went there, and Crescendo was recorded in one. MSV could not believe it was done in one. He said,” You can play once. ” But I said no.

She also shared the play experience for a romantic scene, fascinated by the heroine, the hero (played by the Lord), moving upwards. Since MSV was not satisfied with other mild players, he asked Shri Shivraman to play “something romantic”.

“I had not tried romantic even before. But he said,” You have to play and make it emotional. ” This was the first time I was watching her.

Despite being a great actor, he also talked about the humility of Shivaji Ganesan.

He said, “Shivaji Ganesan used to call me Vathiyar (teacher). Before every shooting, he used to ask if Vathiyar had come. He would ask if his fingers were right. He could do anything – he was a great artist. He was a great artist. But look at humility, with whom he asked me,” he said.

MGR was also a fan of Mr. Shivraman and will participate in his concerts with journalists Manian and collect his recording. He remembered how MGR received him warmly at Satya Studio.

“Once, I was passing through the Satya Studio with my wife. I went in and gave my card to the watchman. He went slowly. But when he came back, he was running. I asked him, ‘Why are you walking?’ He said that MGR was angry.

When he met MGR, he asked, “What do you want to do for you?” I said, “I don’t want anything. I just want your love.”

Inside the studio, there was a large Simasanam (throne), and MGR asked Shri Shivraman to sit on it.

“I asked him,” Why? ”

He said, ‘You are Chakravarti (Emperor) of Mridangam. I only apply Greece paint and acting. ‘Will anyone say anything like this? The thing is that he really enjoyed music, ”he said.

Shri Shivraman made M. Also recalled the presence of MGR and Devraj Urs at the Music Academy to participate in a concert of Balmural Krishna, the year he was awarded the Sangita Kalanidhi Award.

“Both were enjoying the concerts. After it was over, we went and thanked the two Chief Ministers. MGR came to me and said,” You played well. But he prepared Pallavi at home. You played on the spot. You are great. ” Would anyone say how deep his music knowledge was.
