On his X page, Ulaganayan Kamal Haasan wrote that he was twice as happy today because it was the birthday of both his brother and his younger brother.

As both filmmaker Mani Ratnam and musician Ilayaraja celebrate their birthdays today, fans and celebrities are wishing them well on social media. In this case, Kamal Haasan expressed his double happiness on Twitter since today is the birthday of two legends, Ilayaraja and Mani Ratnam. In such tweet, he included:

In Tamil, the word for double happiness is peculiar. Happiness quantifiable? Today, though, is like an example to me.

It is the birthday of the younger brother and the older of the three brothers today. Ilayaraja, my dear brother, will narrate the tale through music; Anbuth Thambi Maniratnam gives screenwriting a charming touch. Happy birthdays to you two.

In his sincere message, Kamal Haasan emphasizes the need of honoring Mani Ratnam and Ilayaraja on their respective birthdays. In expressing his profound respect and love for these two greats, he acknowledges their enormous contributions to music and cinema.

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.
