"I'm thankful to him for enriching my life with his music," Kamal Haasan said.
Chennai:
Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan said late legendary composer MS Viswanathan (MSV), who passed away on July 14, has an inseparable bond with Tamil cinema and his music will always be remembered.
"MSV has blended into Tamil cinema history. He is part of Tamil and south Indian cultural tapestry. He has become the background score of many people's lives. They nostalgically recount their own life with his music," the actor said in a statement.
He also said the revered music composer has fans beyond his own generation and times.
"A good example is my daughter Shruti. She was studying music in the US, and on her return she wanted to meet MSV, for she had become his fan," he said.
Mr Haasan said that MSV always brushed aside his fame and glory to celebrate other artistes irrespective of their age.
"We will only miss him in his physical form. His music will stay on. I'm thankful to him for enriching my life with his music," he added.
