Kannadasan and Vaali are celebrated as two of the greatest lyricists in Tamil cinema, emerging as legends over 50 years ago. Despite their contrasting styles and the intense friendship they shared, they played pivotal roles in shaping the careers of icons like MGR and Sivaji Ganesan. In a poignant moment, Kannadasan once told Vaali, "If I die, you should write a song about me." Tragically, he passed away months later, prompting a heartfelt tribute from Vaali at a poetry recital, reflecting on their unique bond and the legacy of their artistry.
