AR Rahman also said that, "My other memories with him... when we recorded my first Roja recording Kadhal Rojave. He came into the studio and the first thing he said is 'How can this studio produce a cinematic song. So I smiled at him and he came back after the movie released and said: You've proved music can be produced anywhere. It's what you do with it."
Hours after the death of SPB on Friday, the music composer shared a video describing the iconic singer SP Balu as "The voice of victory, love, devotion and joy." Here is the video.
