[arr] [Semi-ARR] Shekar Kapur exits Buddha film

2006-05-05 Thread Gopal Srinivasan


Wonder if this means ARR exits with him.Shekhar Kapur exits Buddha film B K Modi To Unveil New Team For $120-Million Venture The Economic TimesWHO
will make the Buddha smile? Shekhar Kapur and Deepak Chopra have exited
the Beverly Hills-based BK Modi’s $120-million project Buddha. Ace
director Kapur and motivational guru Chopra have been working on the
project with an Indian lineup for over two years and their moving out
could take the project back to the drawing board. Mr Modi,
chairman of M Corp Global, told ET that he would unveil fresh details
on the project at the Cannes Festival later this month. The official
word on the Kapur-Chopra exit cites their busy schedule, with Mr
Kapur working on at least five projects now. Sources said creative
differences, especially on the script developed by Mr Chopra along with
Mr Kapur, prompted the parting of ways. ‘‘The
faith of a lot of people are involved and there is an element of
sensitivity even though it is not a religious film and looks at the
Buddha as a man,’‘ said Mr Modi, with diversified interests of over $2
billion in the ICE sector. The film, now ready by 2008, will have a new
international director (not of Indian origin) and an almost entirely global star cast. ‘‘The details will be released at Cannes,” he added. Earlier,
the grapevine had hinted at Brad Pitt and Aishwarya Rai playing the
lead roles. Mr Modi is leading a consortium of financiers, which is
rumoured to include Richard Gere, in rolling out what is perhaps the
most ambitious Indian production in Hollywood. The English film, to be
shot in Thailand, China and India, will be dubbed into many languages
for a worldwide release. Mr Modi is expected to foray into production
and distribution in Bollywood with the banner of Spice Films. ‘‘We are
finalising a couple of Bollywood projects, and expect to sign up
shortly,” he said.

[arr] Great program by Aaj Tak on ARR

2006-05-05 Thread samarth_rajendra



Hi everybody,

I just finished watching a special program by Aaj Tak on ARR...I am
too excited to not post anything on this!! so here i am:

It started out with them showing snippets of the interview of ARR by
prabhu chawla on their program 'seedhi baat' (they dint show the
interview in entirety, but it will be telecast at 6pm on Aaj Tak, so
don't miss it!!). 

They then showed a snippet of prabhu chawla's interview with Javed
Akhtar, in which he said that ARR was a very complex composer and that
writing lyrics for him and fitting the right words into his song
structure was the toughest part for any lyricist...he then ended by
saying that if a lyricist can write lyrics for ARR, then he can write
for anybody (a huge compliment!).

Then they proceeded to show clips of ARR's movies, starting with RDB
and then proceeding onto Roja, Bombay, Rangeela, Dil Se, and Zubeidaa.
They also showed some very nice clips of ARR performing on stage
(singing Piya Haji Ali) and also showed clips of Vande Mataram and
said that apart from the previous mentioned albums, Vande Mataram and
Jana Gana Mana also set records in terms of sales.

Then they went on to talk about ARR's past (something we're all too
familiar with by now!!). They talked about how since the beginning,
ARR was interested in music and how he learnt to play the piano at a
very young age. They then talked about ARR's association with
Illayaraja and how after the Titan watch jingle, Mani sir chose him
for Roja and how it went on to become a super hit with ARR becoming a
household name. They also briefly talked about how Lataji and ARR have
a great admiration for each other and that ARR was responsible for
giving Lataji more fame with Jiya Jale.

They then ended the show by comparing ARR with the great composers of
yesteryears like RD Burman, Naushad saab (who sadly passed away), and
OP Nayyar and said that ARR, like the afore mentioned composers, is in
a league of his own who created a unique sound and created a standard
to which no one can be compared too.

All in all, it was 30 mins of sheer bliss and I was so proud at the
end of it all! The surprising thing is that Gopal didnt post anything
on this at all and this group had no intimation about this!! and I was
lucky enough to catch the program from the beginning as I was flipping
through the channels.

Do watch the program whenever they show it again today and dont forget
to tune in at 6pm for the exclusive interview...

Awaiting your comments,

Samarth

[arr] Re: Rahman to sing his own tune

2006-05-05 Thread ashwin



I think it might just be a gr8 idea! Anyway I trust Rahman sir, he's 
very intelligent and must have had a lot of thought process before 
going ahead with such a huge project. By the way, the song he 
mentions, is it only available on that Nokia mobile or also some 
album/compilation. I really want to hear the track.

  Rahman to sing his own tune
 
  Hindustan Times
 
 
  Q uite unhappy with the many aspects one has to keep in mind to
 compose for films, music maestro A R Rehman now wants to sing his 
own
 tune. “I feel re stricted in a way †with too many
 elements you can’t work freely,” says Rehman. No, he
 isn’t planning to quit film music †it’s just that
 he is all set to float his own company that will produce music 
videos.
 “That way I’ll get to do my kind of stuff. I have ideas
 but they are incomplete,” he says.
 
  The man who wanted to be be an electronic engineer at one stage 
in his
 life naturally has a special bend towards techno tunes and 
technology.
 He recently tied up with a leading cellphone brand to promote his 
new
 track, Pray for me brother. “The proceeds from the sales will be
 used for a UN anti poverty campaign,” he lets on.
 “It’s a good idea to promote the number this way.
 Technology is harmless till the time it doesn’t curb an
 artist’s creativity.” As the lyrics suggest, it’s
 an English track †the first one from Rehman. “My mental
 fixation kept me from singing in English so far,” he admits.
 
  If you thought Rehman is above competition, you’re wrong.
 “I’m constantly engaged in a fight with myself,” he
 says. “I strive to do better than my last score. The fight is
 necessary because with every good song, expectations rise,” says
 Rehman.
 
  So, what eggs him on, to engage himself in a fight constantly with
 himself ? “More than anything, I think it’s the love of
 people that keeps me going.” he tells you. New projects? he
 won’t reveal much: “Just, wait and watch,” says the
 maestro behind Lagaan and Rang De Basanti.
