Music maestro Ilayaraja is all set to start the first music university at Tirupati in collaboration with collection King Dr M Mohanbabu. Mohanbabu already runs Sri Vidyanikethan educational institutions in Tirupati.
We hear Ilayaraja and Mohanbabu share a close friendship and hence the actor proposed a university dedicated to music at Tirupati with Ilayaraja as its head.
"Yes, it is true. Dad and Ilayaraja uncle share good friendship. He infact spent his own money, flew down his core team to Tirupati for my dad's last birthday and performed his favourite hit tracks at our school. We have immense respect for Ilayaraja uncle and the university will be a great idea" Lakshmi Manchu, daughter of Mohanbabu said.
Sources say elder son of Mohanbabu, Vishnu Manchu is currently in USA and once he comes back, the details of the university will be finalised.
"This will be a world class institution for music in India. It will have everything a music lover needs" Vishnu Manchu said.
