Maestro Ilayaraja has several firsts in his musical career spanning three decades. He has composed music for over 800 films in various Indian languages and won several awards and accolades.

Ilayaraja, who won several awards in his career, is all set to achieve a new record.

For his forthcoming film Ajanta, Ilayaraja has composed a total of 36 songs attempted never before in the history of Indian cinema. Even the maximum in early 1940s and 1950s were just 30.

All the songs were composed in just three days, sources say.

According to director Kathaga Thirumavalavan, 'All the songs have come good with Ilayaraja's touch in it. Based on classical raagas, the songs will attract all sections of the public cutting across language barriers.'

The movie features Ramana in the lead role. The audio will be out shortly.
