We know that the legendary singer SP Balasubramaniam has been participating in his world tour with a name SPB50. Right now, he has been touring the US. The other day, he received shocking legal notices sent by Music Maestro Ilayaraja for singing his songs without his permission. Deeply hurt by this, the Singer took his Facebook to deliver a message. In his message, he stated that he has been touring many countries and he didn’t understand why Ilayaraja sir sent these only after ending the tour in the US. However, SPB made it clear that he will not sing Ilayaraja songs anymore and will sing songs of other musicians.

SPB stated that he was deeply hurt with Ilayaraja sir’s act. It’s a noticeable thing that the notices were also sent to singers Charan, Chitra and show organizers. However, SPB asked all not to comment on anyone with hurtful comments.

On answering some questions from the attended gallery, SPB has answered with some agony and with some concern over the Telugu Film Industry. He asked audiences to change their perspective of Cinema. He opined that some audiences are keeping mum to question faults in movies as their hero’s fans will attack them. He asked audiences to protest if they hate some idiotic scenes in movies. He fired at Telugu makers and heroes to dare to make movies like ‘Dangal’, ‘Sultan’ other than mass potboilers with vulgar content. He raised the topic of bias over small movies.

He urged the Censor Board to work strictly without bias to avoid unnecessary content. Finally, he requested all the directors and Heroes to make movies which make the Telugu people proud with quality. We have to see the pain of SPB rather than finding fault.

Noted music director Santosh Narayan, who has composed music for superstar Rajinikanth’s ‘Kabali’ hasbroken the 24 year long association of the star hero and the legendary singer SP Balasubramaniyam.

SP Balu first sang for Rajini starrer Kannada film ‘Balu Renu’. Later, staring from Rajini’s ‘Yajaman’ in 1993 to ‘Lingaa’ in 2015, SP Balu’s voice was heard for at least one song in every Rajinikanth movie. However, Santosh Narayan broke this association by not giving chance to Balu to sing for ‘Kabali’.

Balu’s voice suits well for Rajini and it would have been great to have Balu on board for Kabali.

The audio of ‘Kabali’ was unveiled last night at a small function in Chennai. Rajinikanth was absent from the function. Due to some issues, the huge audio launch event was cancelled much to the heartbreak of fans. The songs will be released online from today.

It is known that a Delhi-based lawyer has lodged a police complaint against Big Bachchan claiming that he sang the national anthem in 1 minute 22 seconds and violated the guidelines of Indian government restricting the time to 52 seconds.

“I was really moved by the way Sri Amitabh Bachchan ji rendered our National Anthem in Kolkata the other day. It was dignified, in perfect pitch and perfect pronunciation,” posted Balasubramanyam on Facebook.

“Somebody filed a PLC against him saying that his singing was a few seconds more than the prescribed duration for singing the National Anthem. Is there a law like that? Surprise!!!.How could nobody mention anything about the duration of the National Anthem sung by Lathaji, BhimSenJoshiji, Balamuraliji and lots of others in which I too participated,” wondered Balasubramanyam?

“Sir, the judges are struggling to find time to dispose off pending cases. Is it necessary that one would add another pain in their neck? There are plenty of issues in the country. If possible let us help to solve them. Let us not find petty ways to seek publicity. Let us be magnanimous.I really feel proud when AB sir sang the Anthem. Hats off to you, Sir,” posted Balasubramanyam, who won the National Award for best male playback singer six times.

SP Balasubramaniam victimized by hackers!

Bad behavior or to put it more correctly, abusive behaviour online is pretty common these days with social media being its life blood and many celebrities falling prey to those cowardly, anonymous attacks in cyberspace. But that’s not what we’re talking about here.. no, this isn’t borderline unethical action – this is outright, illegal, criminal action!

Hackers-Harassing-Balu

Yes, we’re talking about good old fashioned hacking and the victim this time is none other than the beloved veteran singer of south Indian cinema, SP Balasubramaniam or SPB as he is often called.

It seems SPB’s email account has been hacked and not with just malicious intent but with a criminal purpose. Someone’s been sending out mails from his personal account asking people to wire transfer money in to the Ukraine!

One wonders if the hacker just randomly targeted the account or if he or she knows who the legendary artist is.

In any case, as soon as SPB found out about the scam being run in his name, he immediately posted this message on his Facebook page:

Dear All,
Somebody hacked my mail info and sending mails from [email protected], asking for Money transfer through Western Union to Ukraine. That is spam. I am deleting my yahoo email address.

Thanks for all the enquiries. I am healthy and hale in US.

SPB.

He is currently in the United States hosting a reality show for kids aged between 9 and 12, titled Paaduthu Theeyaga, with its contestants being of US/Telugu origin from different cities there.

Now, for the rest of you out there, heed the warning from the man himself, because if you get a mail from that account, you can be pretty damn sure that SP Balasubramaniam doesn’t want your money.
