Taking to his Instagram account on the occasion of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay-starrer 'Tamizhan' completing 23 years, the National Award winner last year had said, "Twenty three years ago, I walked into the world of music with â??Tamizhanâ??, starring Vijay and Priyanka Chopraâ?¦ not knowing how much it would change my life. Today, I look back with nothing but gratitude. To my fans, mentors, and well-wishers, your love is my biggest strength. Thank you for making this journey unforgettable. #23YearsOfImman #23YearsOfTamizhanâ??

Imman has been in the news not only for scoring chartbusters and winning National awards. He has also been in the news for his decision to register himself for full body organ donation.

On his birthday in January last year, the music director had taken to his X handle to say, â??On the occasion of my birthday, I have been receiving a lot of birthday wishes. I thank all those who have been sending in their wishes. For a long time, I have been wanting to do a number of things. This birthday, I chose to register myself for a full body organ donation.â??

The music director then went on to say that he had also received the donor card after registering himself with the Rajiv Gandhi government hospital in Chennai.

â??After my life, all my body organs will be donated to those who are in need of it. By doing this, I got to know the wonderful fact that one can continue to live on even after oneâ??s time,â?? Imman had said.

The music director had said that he would feel happy if his decision to donate his body organs after his time inspired others too to register for organ donation.
