Bharath, For the updated and confirmed listing you can always go to ARR's official site ....
http://arrahman.com/ - check the discography section - these are the ones where ARR has signed the dotted line. The site lists these as the forthcoming projects ..... *Hindi* Yuvraaj Ghajini Dilli 6 Blue *Tamil* Sultan Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikalam Robot Marmayogi *Telegu* Puli Apart from these I think the Wikipedia page will list some more projects - but those are all unconfirmed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_R_Rahman -A On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 2:53 AM, bharath kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi All, > > Can any body please tell the feature projects of guruji....plzzzzzzzzzz > > --- On *Thu, 7/24/08, Anil Nair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>* wrote: > > From: Anil Nair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [arr] Sakkarkatti review - blogger Qalandar > To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com > Date: Thursday, July 24, 2008, 10:43 PM > > I like this person's reviews ....his reviews feature on naachgaana.comas > well .... > > the last line especially is a gem of a line ....."*But why compare, when, > like all good Rahman fans, one ought to have both*?" > Music Review: SAKKARAKATTI (Tamil; 2008) > As I arrived home today to find the Sakkarakatti CD waiting in my > mailbox, I was struck by the fact that even thirteen years after I first > encountered the sound of A.R.
