Ok let’s get to the point. Poet Vali wrote many amazing songs for MGR. Poet Vali had narrated the incident on a stage when he was writing a song for MGR starrer ‘Meng Thangam’.
Krishnan Panchu Director.. MGR Hero.. Music by MS Viswanathan. Jayalalitha is the heroine of the movie. A love song featured in the film. The first line was sung by MS Viswanathan himself. The first line is ‘I enjoy in moderation’. I have to write from the next line. But nothing appeared to me. So, I put the Vettel leaf in my mouth and chewed it.

Then artist Karunanidhi came there. ‘What if Wally wrote the song?’ he asked. I said that the first line is ‘I enjoy it in moderation’.. I didn’t get the next line. The artist immediately said, ‘He who gives anything without measure’. I was amazed. This is a lyric written by artist Karunanidhi for MGR. Then when I met MGR he hugged and kissed me for that lyric. Immediately I said, ‘If you want to kiss that line, you should give it to Karunanidhi.’
Vali shared such an interesting news on that stage.
