Sivakarthikeyan Praises Yuvan Shankar Raja at Nesipaya Audio Launch

The audio launch of the film Nesipaya, directed by Vishnuvardhan, was held in Chennai on January 3. The film stars Akash Murali, younger son of actor Murali and brother of Atharvaa, alongside Aditi Shankar in lead roles. Produced by Xavier Britto, known for Master, the film features music by Yuvan Shankar Raja and is set for a Pongal release.

Actor Sivakarthikeyan, who graced the event, delivered a heartfelt tribute to Yuvan Shankar Raja. Speaking at the launch, he said, “For Yuvan sir, there’s no distinction between big actors, emerging actors, or the scale of the film. He prioritizes the story and ensures it gets the music it deserves. This quality, I believe, comes from his father, Ilayaraja sir. Throughout his career, Yuvan sir has treated every film with the same dedication, making him ‘Beyond Time’ rather than just the ‘Greatest of All Time.’”

Sharing a personal moment, Sivakarthikeyan added, “One night, while driving, I was listening to Yuvan sir’s songs and became very emotional. I called him and said, ‘Sir, I miss you and Na. Muthukumar sir’s work a lot.’ His music has been a constant in my life since my school and college days, bringing back cherished memories every time I listen.”

Sivakarthikeyan’s touching words about Yuvan Shankar Raja resonated deeply with fans and the audience, adding to the excitement for Nesipaya’s upcoming release.
