Ilayaraja makes his crossover debut

Music Maestro

Ilayaraja

is all set for his crossover debut with an Indo-Australian movie being directed by Indian-Australian filmmaker

Julian Karikalan

.

The film, titled 'Love and Love Only', is a cross-cultural romantic drama and it is being produced by Julian himself. In a touching gesture to encourage the young talent, Ilayaraja reportedly charged way less than his usual remuneration to accommodate himself within the film���s minimal budget. The legendary music composer had scored 21 soundtracks for this movie. Interestingly, Julian doesn���t intend to release his film in cinemas, but has plans to distribute it via

VHX

and Amazon���s video-on-demand platform and is slated for its release early next year. 'Love and Love Only' received Best Musical Score and Best Direction at the International Film and

Entertainment

Festival of Australia last December.
