Hail ARR!!! * * *“It’s a boost to all of us” – Music Director D. Imman * After the advent of A.R.Rahman, many people started following his style of music. I also started composing music following his style, and that’s the truth. This itself is an achievement according to me. One thing which he has proved is that anyone can win only if the music is original. The message that he has proved and said through his achievement is that we must be original, when composing music. I was in Mumbai, mixing for my film “ Naan Avanillai ( Part 2 )”, when I heard the good news of him winning the awards, and people in Mumbai were celebrating it like a big festival. His Victory is like a boost to us. It’s a Proud moment for every Tamilian – Lyricist Kapilan “ He would compose music the entire night. I too used to sit with him the entire night, and time would just fly away. At 4 AM in the morning, my cell phone alarm would ring, and remind us that another day would have started. He would humorously tell me to buy Milk Packets on my way to home. He is a genius and would identify and tap people’s genius. I was remembering all the good moments we shared , when he got the awards. A Talented person’s success is our success. He would have sacrificed and lost lot of happiness for achieving this. It would be such people, who sacrifice themselves for other’s happiness and joy. The whole world is now celebrating his victory and success. He never worked with an aim of achieving this success. But, his hard work has achieved success. He has made the entire nation feel proud, and we as Tamilians must be doubly happy for this. *“ He is a Man with **Lot** of Energy” – Devi Sri Prasad * I normally don’t worship God before starting my work , but on the day of Oscars, I prayed God before switching on my TV. It is his Powerful Magnetism that attracts us to him. Right from the time, he won the awards, our studio has been talking about he and his victory. He socializes us with us in a very nice fashion, and that makes me feel all the more proud for him. -- regards, Vithur
