Happy Birthday Rahman! By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 06 January , 2010, 09:45 Today (January 6), the maestro AR Rahman, celebrates his 44th birthday. We at sify.com along with millions of his fans around the globe wish him a Happy Birthday. Rahman is today a world icon after winning the Oscars last year. He may not have a single album in Tamil last year. But this year Rahman is going to rock with atleast three Tamil albums. The first of the albums would be Gautham Menon�s Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya, followed a few weeks later by Mani Ratnam�s Raavan and towards the end of the year Shankar�s Endhiran. Then there will also be SJ Surya�s Puli in Telugu and Hindi version of Sivaji music. Divulging the marketing plans for Rahman�s first release of the year likely on January 10, Sony Music Southern Repertoire head Ashok Parwani says: "We intend to make VTV a crossover album as we believe A R Rahman as a brand and this music has the power to transcend language and regional barriers. We will service the song videos to all leading music channels � Tamil and National as AR Rahman has a universal reach�.
