Maybe the film industry is not solely dependent on him for 'hit songs' anymore (though no one music director has displayed the capability of replacing him singly till date).
But, even after 35 years of service, he is still an active composer - in fact, the most sought one for movies with a difference. It is still news if he refuses or accepts a movie.
His name is still enough to market a movie and his new albums' sales are still predictably stable irrespective of the movie's starcast - all being records which the generation next to him can only dream of breaking.
And, he is still busy working on multiple projects in numerous languages silently while many ignorantly refute his market value. I'm proud to be a fan of ILAIYARAAJA!
May he live long for this whole world to experience and enjoy his musical peace!
