Fans of MSV enjoy vintage music
and stories on his life
Book on his interviews released
By Our Edit Team

    Fans of celebrated music director M S Viswanathan (MSV)
are a huge community and a keen one at that.
    Some 1000 plus of them were at Kumari Raja Muthiah
Arangham in MRC Nagar on a cloudy Sunday evening, to be
at the launch of a book on MSV, based on a series of interviews
he gave Ananda Vikatan magazine. The book is titled Naan
Oru Rasigan.

                                 in their 60s and 70s, enjoyed
                                  some memorable MSV film
                                  songs presented by a music
                                  troupe of seasoned musicians.
                                  Many were seen recording
                                  the show on their mobiles
                                  and keenly listening to the

                                   anecdotes.

                                   lights of the film world came
                                   on stage to release the book,
                                    at which many members of
                                    MSV’s family which is based
                                    off San Thome High Road
                                    were also present, the fans
                                    sat up to listen keenly to
                                     each speaker’s stories on
                                     MSV.
                            MSV’s son, Prakash set the ball roll-
ing with a great story – of how the music director had hailed
a taxi outside AVM Studios one evening and later at home
realised to his shock that his favourite harmonium, which has
always been with him through his career, was missing.
    Calls went out to search for the instrument but it could not
be located. They then called well-known PR agent Film News
Anandan to not only put out a press report in Dina Thanthi
newspaper but also released an advert on the ‘missing’ harmo-
nium. MSV was not only upset but did not sleep nor eat a mor-
sel. Only 36 hours later did they get a call from a taxi driver
who said he had taken MSV home, had rushed to Madras from
his hometown, had checked the taxi and located the harmo-
nium. Vani Jayaram, P Susheela, K Bhagyaraj, Deva, Padma
Subramaniam and Y G Mahendran were among the people
who spoke, sharing their personal anecdotes on MSV.
    The event was hosted by Mellisai Mannar Fans Associa-
tion. Proceeds from the sale of this book are to be donated to
the Viswanathan-Kannadasan Trust.

Two senior Carnatic music artistes who are known the world over, percussionist Vikku
Vinayakram and violinist Nagai Muralidharan, were honoured at an event held on Oct. 31

ber late N. Ramani, the well-known flutist, on his 89th birth anniversary.
Arts promoter V. V. Sundaram presented plaques to the senior artistes as a mark
