Musical Talents South cinema is home to some of the biggest musical talents of the nation. With composers who are never afraid to try something new, it almost seems that this is an industry full of A R Rahmans. Of course, his brilliance is incomparable. However, let's just say that down South A R Rahman has much more competition than he may seem to have up North. Harris Jayraj, Illaraya, Mani Sharma, Devi Sri Prasad and M M Keeravani are some of the top composers and are constantly seen to be trying something new, music being quite an integral part of its culture just as dance sequences are.
Even the best of our playback singers are constantly taking trips down South to deliver some chartbusters there as well. Shaan, Kay Kay, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shreya Ghosal and Kunal Ganjawala, who are the popular names in the Hindi music industry today, all have extensively sung down south with Shankar Mahadevan making his presence felt more than other! In addition, Vishal and Shekhar are heard to be making a debut down South soon as are Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy. http://www.bollyspice.com/view.php/1975-south-indian-cinema.html <http://www.bollyspice.com/view.php/1975-south-indian-cinema.html> -- regards..
