[arr] [Semi ARR] National Awards Function to be held today.

[Amith Chandhran]

In Delhi. Watch for it.

Naresh Iyer has won it for Roobaroo, and Anmol Bhave (group member) has won
it for best audiography.

Thanks.

[arr] ARR not responsible for Jodha Akbar delay

[Gopal Srinivasan]

Jodhaa Akbar, now in January.. touchwood
  
Heave a sigh of relief. The release date of the movie has finally been fixed





A shutosh Gowariker's magnum opus will open worldwide on January 25, 2008. The 
publicity of the film has just about begun with ‘look-alikes' of the Emperor 
and his Queen read Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai - making surprise 
appearances at various multiplexes across the country.

Explaining the postponement, a source associated with the film, said, "Ashutosh 
was aware that Jodhaa Akbar wouldn't be ready for release on October 12. But he 
kept harping on that date so that the post-production work wouldn't slow down. 
The shooting was wrapped up earlier this month with a song picturised on 
Hrithik and Aishwarya with about 2500 dancers."

There are several special effects in the historical which are being executed by 
Tata Elixi, which also did Dhoom 2. Denying reports that A R Rahman is taking 
time to create the background, the source says, "Rahman began creating the 
background music at the right time. He has committed a date to Ashutosh and he 
will deliver on time."

The film trailer of the costume drama will be launched later this month. 
Apparently, Gowariker is also planning to release a book on the magnum opus, a 
fortnight before the film's premiere.

[arr] Shooting begins for Subhash Ghai's Yuvraaj

[satish_srini]

By Businessofcinema.com Team 
 
  13 September 2007, 07:49 PM  
  MUMBAI: Subhash Ghai launched his mega directorial venture Yuvraaj 
with a shoot at Khandala with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif on 12 
September. The shooting was picturised on a song composed by A R 
Rahman that has lyrics by Gulzaar.

 

A 21 days schedule will be held in Western Europe next week with the 
entire star cast. The Rs 500 million (Rs 50 crores) musical 
extravaganza is the biggest ever made film by Ghai.

 

Yuvraaj stars Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Boman Irani 
and has cinematography by Kabir Lall and art direction by Omung Kumar 
(Black and Saawariya). Shiamak Davar is the choreographer of the film 
produced under the Mukta Arts Entertainment banner.

[arr] Hariharan singing for Sivaji (Hindi)

[satish_srini]

Even today, I am very lucky that most of my songs are hits, but they 
don't register as Hariharan hits for some weird reason (Laughs) - 
like `Jhonka hawaa ka' (Yaadein), `Khaali hai' (Paheli) or my song in 
Guru. I am now singing for Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy in Amol Palekar's new 
film, for Shamir Tandon in Bal Ganesh, for Bappa Lahiri in Dus 
Kahaaniyan and for A.R.Rahman in the dubbed Hindi version of Sivaji - 
The Boss.

[Vinod Raju]

Gomzy,

I think its an ad for the Millennium Goals campaign. (See the url at 
the end of the ad)

Prasoon Joshi's  social campaign titled `Stand Up Against Poverty, 
Stand Up For Millennium Development Goals', in which Rehman has 
participated, could qualify for an entry into the Guinness book of 
records. The campaign, which featured A.R.Rahman, Sachin Tendulkar, 
Aamir Khan and Rahul Dravid, had participation of over 9.7 million 
Indian citizens which made it the largest figure in the world from a 
single nation. 
More about this - > http://www.millenniumcampaign.org/ 
and http://www.standagainstpoverty.org/.

[arr] ARR mentioned in Asianet Idea Star Singer

[Vinod Raju]

Asianet's talent hunt program - Idea Star Singer, today had all the 
judges praising ARR and recollecting their experiences. The judges 
were M.G.Sreekumar, Sharath (Malayalam MD), Usha Uthup and actress 
Padmapriya.

There is a "Favorite musician's round", where the singer will have 
to sing a song of his favorite MD.
One participant chose ARR. Usually when a contestant tells his fav 
MD's name, the judges will ask "why you like this MD?" etc.
But when ARR's name was mentioned, MG.Sreekumar said you dont need 
to say why ARR is your favorite. He is everyone's favorite.
Then went on to tell his own experience with ARR's music. That 
everytime he get a new ARR album, he wouldnt like it first time.
Then he would listen in his car 2-3 times, and then the songs get 
stuck into his head, and would never seem to go out in his lifetime. 
He called ARR's music a mesmerizing experience.

Then came the turn of Sharath, who recollected an interesting story.
Way back in 1995, one day, popular Malayalam singer Venugopal called 
him and told very excited that he has finally managed to sing a song 
for ARR. When asked which song, he replied "Kuchi Kuchi Rakkamma". 
Few days later another noted singer Krishnachandran called and said 
he has sung a song for ARR, "Kuchi Kuchi Rakkamma". Again after a 
few days, singer Srinivas called and said the same thing - that he 
has sung for ARR finally and song is "kuchi Kuchi Rakkamma". Again 
after a few days, a new singer Chandrasekhar called and said that he 
has sung for ARR, and SHrath asked him back "is it Kuchi Kuchi 
Rakkamma?!!". And finally when the song came out, it was in 
Hariharan's voice. SHarath told this story to higlight ARR's quest 
for perfection.

Usha Uthup talked about her experience recording for Daud. 
Sukhwinder Singh was the lyricist and she said she had a wonderful 
time recording with ARR and Sukhwinder.

It was a really great to see the respect for ARR and his music among 
other musicians. :-)

Thanks,

May God shower his blessings  on us.

[arr] Sivaji crossing boundaries

[Thulasi Ram]

Rajnikanth rocks
S Kalyana Ramanathan / New Delhi September 13, 2007


*FILMS:* Having tasted success, *Sivaji*'s producers are planning its
Japanese and Malay versions  Having struck gold at the box office in India
and abroad with Rajnikanth starrer Sivaji: The Boss, AVM Productions is
trying to work out another foreign release in Malay and Chinese as dubbed
versions. But, playing it safe, S C Babu, CEO, AVM Productions insists that
it is too early to make an announcement as the talks with foreign
counterparts are still in early stages.  The movie is likely to be screened
at the Tokyo International Film Festival in the first week of October and
discussions are on to release the movie in Japan with Japanese
subtitles.  Rajnikanth
has a strong fan base in Japan and the local demand is backed by local fan
following and not just Indians living in Japan. According to Babu, the
universal appeal of the music scored by A R Rahman along with the strong
visual attraction (all those stunning sets created by Thota Tharrani) are
strong drivers for the demand for this movie in foreign countries.  The
background score for the movie was recorded in Prague, Czech Republic, using
local musicians by an American music conductor :-).  Shivaji has already
been released in Malaysia in its original form (Tamil) and it has created
history by beating the highest Malay grosser in the country.  Back home, the
movie will complete its 100 days on September 23. "The estimates of box
office collections so far would be available only by the end of the month, "
says Babu. Rough estimates reported in the media so far range between Rs
200-450 crore, a number that the production house insists is inaccurate.  The
dubbed Hindi version of the movie is also under production. "Though there
have been rumours about a Diwali release, we feel the festival would not be
the right time for the release of the Hindi version. The reason being that
the deadline is too short and also, we would look at a less competitive
timing for the release. After all, the original Tamil version has already
been released and tasted great success in the so-called northern markets,"
says Babu.  Sivaji has been a great success in markets like Julandhar,
Lucknow and Jaipur apart from metropolitan cities like Mumbai and Delhi.  For
the Hindi dubbed version, certain parts of the movie will need to be reshot
to make it relevant to the Hindi audience. Mumbai writer and lyricist
Swanand Kirkire, who wrote the dialogues for movies like Eklavya and
Chameli, is writing the Hindi version of Sivaji).  The television rights for
the movie were recently bought by Kalaignar TV — the yet to be launched DMK
party backed TV Channel — for an undisclosed price. While Babu refused to
discuss the subject, industry sources said that the TV rights have been sold
for Rs 3-4 crore. Under the contract, the buyers reportedly cannot broadcast
movie for three years.  Despite tight controls over the prints, Sivaji has
already become a victim among movie pirates.  "As long as the film is in the
analog version, there is very little we can do to control piracy. With 800
prints in circulation, curbing piracy is a logistic nightmare," says Babu.

hi,
   I dont think audio will be releasing on october, it might release on 
november. 
  Since the film is releasing on 25th january, he might take time in 
re-recording to improve the quality of the song ,since he is a perfectionist .
