When kaviarasar was in the recording room after writing the song "En vaanile Orey vennilla" ('Johnny' 1980) he observed that the singer, Jansi, pronounced 'orey' with a short syllable. He quickly intervened and asked her to emphasise the 'orey' and went on to tell her the difference between pronouncing with a short syllable and a stretched 'orey'. The stretched 'orey' made a difference as it implies possesiveness although the moon is common to all.
Everyone in the audience, including Ilayaraja, had a short course in Tamil pronounciation at the studio!
