Mani Ratnam shares his birthday with music composer Ilaiyaraaja. On X, Kamal Haasan posted photos with the composer and the filmmaker along with a heartfelt message. He wrote, “Double happiness is a strange phrase in Tamil. Can happiness be measured? But today is like an example for me. This is a happy moment as today is the birthday of the elder brother among the three brothers and the birthday of the younger brother.”

He added, “My beloved brother Ilayaraja will tell the story in music; anbu thambi (dear younger brother) Mani Ratnam who adds a touch of charm to screenwriting… I wish you both a happy birthday. May the legacy of our trio continue forever,” along with the hashtags – Happy Birthday Ilaiyaraaja and Happy Birthday Mani Ratnam.” (Translated by The Indian Express)

இரட்டிப்பு சந்தோஷம் என்பது தமிழில் ஒரு விந்தையான சொற்றொடர். சந்தோஷத்திற்கு அளவீடு இருக்க முடியுமா என்ன? ஆனால் அதற்கு ஓர் உதாரணம் போன்றதுதான் இன்றைய நாள் எனக்கு.

மூன்று சகோதரர்களில் அண்ணனுக்கும் இன்று பிறந்தநாள், தம்பிக்கும் இன்று பிறந்தநாள் என்கிற மகிழ்வான தருணம் இது.
