He’s also working with AR Rahmanin his Hollywood project. But Sivamani regrets that he could not be present at the Oscar ceremony. “I had a show for Shivarathri at the Mookambika temple and was praying for Rahman. The next morning, it was a double treat for me. My sister called me to inform that Rahman had won the Oscars and that the Tamil Nadu government was to confer the Kalaimamani title on me,” he recalls.
When I could not attend his post-Oscar show in Kerala, Rahman sent me a message saying ‘Don’t ditch me next time.’ Sivamani says that he will be joining Rahman in the shows that are to be held at Dubai, Kolkata and Chennai. Known for his ability to innovate, he says, “I am busy rehearsing with my boys, especially for the show.” Having achieved so much, what’s he looking forward to? “I am trying my hands at music direction in Bollywood. I’ll soon have an announcement to make,” he smiles. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Potpourri/Sivamani-Bollywood-bound/articleshow/4654605.cms Rahman fever His Music ~ My Mother Tongue Share files, take polls, and make new friends - all under one roof.
