Don't want the scores to have any kind of Indian feel in any of the coming projects like 'Passage' or 'Couples Retreat'. Even he doesn't want to be repetitive..
Read the words of AR.. “It doesn’t have any Oriental or Indian touches. So, sorry, no Jai Ho this time for global listeners who are looking for a similar musical experience from me. Everywhere I go I am greeted by those two words. Thanks to Gulzar saab for creating such a globally popular catch phrase. But now I do want to move on. This will completely be an ‘American’ score... done in my way, of course.” “I wanted to do something fluffy and light-toned. I wanted it to be contemporary. Even Elizabeth took me back to the 15th century,” http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Bollywood/Rehman-says-yes-to-Hollywood/articleshow/4542875.cms So let us, the fans, allow him to give what he wants to.. In his own words.. "He gives what we need, not what we want !" :-) Let's hope for the Best. Insha Allah. Krish..

Great news. However Oscars can be expected only if the film itself is an Oscar favorite, regardless of the music. And I don't think there will be songs as such in the movie, otherwise it would be marketed as a musical. Expecting a lot of sampling from Rahman from Indian movies as well. Here's to hoping that a tune or two of Ilayaraja also gets in there!! :P This will also be a good test of how Rahman can adapt to completely different setting. His earlier ventures had some elements of Bollywood in it. This is completely Hollywood. 2009/5/15 Farzad khaleel <farsad...@gmail. com> Is it fair to expect OSCARS more ? I was reading the news in TOI about "A R Rahman and Burden of Expectations". :) On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 3:41 PM, jaiganesh g <jaiganesh.g4@ gmail.com> wrote: HOPE WE GET ANOTHER OSCAR On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 10:37 AM, Gomzy™ <gomtesh.upadhye@ gmail.com> wrote: he was the producer.... executive producer.... they are the makers there :) On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 10:08 AM, $ Pavan Kumar $ <pawancumarr@ yahoo.com> wrote: Iron man directed by Jon Favreau... --- On Thu, 5/14/09, Gomzy™ <gomtesh.upadhye@ gmail.com> wrote: From: Gomzy™ <gomtesh.upadhye@ gmail.com> Subject: Re: [arr] Couples Retreat | AR's New Hollywood Project !
