Other examples from his own collection are Vellai Pookal and Khamosh Raat. Would love to hear ARR compose a very mellow, melodious, slow, acoustic guitar dominated track. He hasn't done something like this in a long time. Elay and Ra Bau Ru were very acoustic, but also very fast. Hoping to hear something slow and enchanting. The song Maa by SEL captured people's heart, also due to tremendous lyrics. WAiting for a song from ARR that will also totally capture people's hearts, bring them to tears with great lyrical value.

[arr] Director AR Rahman also reached out to Madonna
Pop icon *Kylie Minogue* http://www.hollyscoop.com/kylie-minogue/158.aspxis going to get paid big bucks ($1.55 million to be exact) to sing a song on the soundtrack of an upcoming Bollywood movie. Minogue had agreed to lend her voice to the film *Blue*, and will travel to Mumbai next month to record the song, DNA newspaper said. Blue is a big-budget Bollywood movie about a sunken treasure ship, said to have been inspired by the Hollywood production *The Deep*. She'll also be shooting a music video for the song. Director AR Rahman also reached out to Madonna and Rihanna but he never heard back from Madge and Rihanna wanted way too much money. More than $1.5 million? Is she not aware of the recession?

But it was saddening to hear the shaken down voice of ARR due to Sridhar's demise.. He mentioned at least a couple of times about how hard times were, around this topic. But he was as sweet as always. He did talk a minute about the Connections (around the 59th minute mark in the podcast) and he shared that it was NOT another Vande mataram, but a different approach. I think he mentioned around 5 tracks: Mylapore Blues, a Punjabi track, Thirukkural and two others that I can't pull out of my memory... Hope you guys listen to the recorded stream!

[arr] The Gentleman (Hindi) - Official or Unofficial?
The Gentleman (Hindi) is a remake of the Tamil film Gentleman. The music is orignally composed by A.R. Rahman for the tamil version but the hindi version features the music director as Anu Malik. I was unable to find credits given to A.,R. Rahman for the music in the hindi version. All credits for the music of The Gentleman have been given to Anu Malik but the truth is that he has only composed one additional track What Is Love? and all other tracks have been orignally composed by A.R. Rahman and just the music arrangement has been done by anu Malik. Now someone please clear my dounbts - Gentleman (Tamil) released in 1993 and The Gentleman (Hindi) released in 1994, so is The Gentleman (Hindi) an official remake and if yes were the music rights also obtained? If the music rights were obtained, so why are the music credits only given to Anu Malik and not A.R. Rahman on the VCD and CD? If the msuic has been copied or unofficially used by Anu Malik, have there been any issues or contraversies on this matter in the past? I will be greatful if someone could please clear my doubts on the whole matter. Thanks
[arr] A.R. Rahman indirectly mentions about our group (I think)
In the audio interview which was posted here, did you guys notice AR commented on people downloading his song. He was disappointed that after months of mixing and stuff, people just download Cheap MP3s and listen to the songs in CHEAP laptop speakers and REVIEW it. It sounds as if he's telling about us. I mean the reviewing part. He most certainly gets disappointed hearing all the initial bad reviews of his songs... Dhili 6 and Connections is coming soon (according to ARR), please don't review the songs. At least for a week. I see this in our group every single time his album is released...

[arr] Some Poems on A.R.Rahman
*Poem No. 1 * ** *One whose 'Music-fire' catches everywhere, His Vestige of vice is found nowhere. One who sings with pride Maa tujhe Salaam, He is none other than A.R Rahman. He is the Sun : whose rays enlighten us, Not only his music, but all his good stuffs. This King of Virtuoso brings us Charm, Thanks for everything,Allah Rakha Rahman. Everyone say He's Mozart in Disguise, whose fame always Rise,Rise and Rise! But I firmly say He is The God, To worship and follow him,my sacred job. He cretes every note with great Dedication, And then designs them as a master Craftman. His every sweat turns into a gold then, Oh! what a soothing music he gives-He is the Gem. He heals everyone, thus he is a GOD, He steals everyheart, thus he is a Superstar. He says Vande Mataram, thus he is a Patriot, Thanx again for all, our dear ARR !!* ** ** *Poem No. 2 * ** Poem 2 (Hindi) *Anek Zakkam Bar pade the Dil Mein, Unne sahalane wala koi nahi. Anek Dard chupe pade the Dil Mein, Unne Mitane wala Koi Nahin. Aise mein sochta tha : Kaise dur kiye jaye ye saare Gam, kya hai koi aisa aacha madhyam? Aise mein kisi ne bola Sun Rahman ka Sangeet, uske bad Zindagi ban gayi Rangeen hi Rangeen. Uske geet mein koi Kasiyat thi, jo ek Dava ki tarah kaam kar gayi, Uske geet the sabse alag, jo ek alag pehchan ban gayi. Wohi geet meri dost ban gayi, Wohi geet meri saathi ban gayi, Wohi geet mere liye Ishwar ban gayi, Wohi geet meri Zindahi Ban gayi. Ab Andera kam, Roshni Jyaada Dikhte hai, Charo taraf Khusiyan ke Sargam bhi Dikhte hai Kyon ki Mere Dil Rahman ke ghane jo sunte hai !! Is Bhude ke liye wo hi Ande Ki Lati hai !! Is Bhude ke liye wo hi Jeevan Saathi hai !! -A lonely old man * ** *Posted by santosh Kumar ( Orkut ) * ** ** -- regards, Vithur

The Gentleman in Hindi was an authorized remake of the original in Tamil. The movie was produced by Geetha Arts/Allu Arjun, the production house behind the Hindi version of Ghajini. The remake rights, including the music, were acquired from KT Kunjumon, producer of the Tamil version.

[arr] Rajiv Menon who recommended my name to A R Rahman
Be it crooning for a film or rendering a classy Carnatic raaga, Unnikrishnan
is completely at ease. Ask him how he got into the film industry and
javascript:openslideshownew('/slideshow/3814712.cms?imw=460','541')
javascript:openslideshownew('/slideshow/3814712.cms?imw=460','541')
Unnikrishnan. (TOI Photo)
he says that playback singing was accidental.
It was Rajiv Menon who recommended my name to A R Rahman. After listening to
my CD, he gave me an opportunity, he says.
Unnikrishnan made history when his songs Ennavalae... in Kaadalan along with
Uyirum Neeye in the movie Pavitra won him a National Award.
Despite having sung over 1,000 film songs, he still cherishes Carnatic
music. Though Carnatic music requires tremendous practice and dedication,
there is a lot of creativity involved. It provides an opportunity to show
your creative prowess on the spot, in the form of manodharma. It is a major
challenge but at the same time, gives you the biggest satisfaction, he
says.
Ask him to what bani or style he belongs and he says, Style is not planned.
After learning for several years and listening to different genres of music,
a particular style evolves.
Unnikrishnan is also known for his stunning kurtha-pyjamas in dashing hues.
Is it part of his style? I like kurthas and traditionally, singers have
been wearing it. But my wife is responsible for the collection in my
wardrobe, he chuckles.
So, is there any particular raaga that appeals to the musician? It changes
from season to season. At present, it is Nalinakanthi. It has a lot of
emotional appeal and can be sung in a lighter as well as in a classical way.
The progression of notes is very smooth and the sounds are very soothing,
he explains.
Though he has sung a remix of Paattum naane... for an album, he is yet to
sing a remix for films. Why is it so? I am not against remixes, but it's
just that it has not happened so far, he says.
His songs have been known to be melodious. Do kuthu songs interest him? He
says that singing a kuthu song is no joke. It needs a different accent,
different attitude and punch. But I don't think some people will call me to
sing a kuthupattu as they identify me more with classical singing, he says.
Of late, he has been part of two reality shows. What prompted him to take
the avatar of a judge? He clarifies that primarily, it was due to compulsion
from the television channels. Not only me, the entire team of judges did
not want to hurt any one and the shows are very healthy. There is a lot of
amazing talent, he says.
Ask him why such winners are not making it to playback singing, he says that
stage singing and playback singing require different skill sets. A winner
on stage may not be that good inside the studio and vice-versa, he says.
So, besides adjudging the show, what are his new projects? I am just back
after a fusion concert with Eli Yamin's jazz band. Next month, I am doing a
fusion concert in Hyderabad with Anil Srinivasan on the piano and
Purushothaman on the ganjira.
On the general complaint that the traditional audience does not like fusion
concerts, he says that an audience cannot expect the same classical numbers
in a fusion concert. If they come with an open mind, they are sure to
enjoy. Singing classical music to the background of western instruments is a
challenge and will be a treat for the audience. In fusion, it is more of
contemporary classical music.
Everyone knows that he was a top order batsman and a wicketkeeper in the
Tamil Nadu Senior Division League. But not many know that he was offered
meaty roles in films by directors Vasanth, Bharathiraja and the late Jeeva.
Does he plan to start a new innings in acting? Never, he says. I am not
cut out to be an actor.
But is he ready to reveal the secret behind his youthful soft boy image?
Music keeps me young, he concludes.

All credits for the music of The Gentleman have been given to Anu Malik but the truth is that he has only composed one additional track What Is Love? and all other tracks have been orignally composed by A.R.

Now someone please clear my dounbts - Gentleman (Tamil) released in 1993 and The Gentleman (Hindi) released in 1994, so is The Gentleman (Hindi) an official remake and if yes were the music rights also obtained? If the music rights were obtained, so why are the music credits only given to Anu Malik and not A.R. Rahman on the VCD and CD? If the msuic has been copied or unofficially used by Anu Malik, have there been any issues or contraversies on this matter in the past?

[arr] Kamal-ARR Combo in TI Marmayogi
Marmayogi to restart on January 13th www.galatta.com [December 8, 2008, 3:29:22 PM] The latest word about Marmayogi, which was kept in cold storage due to financial shortfalls, is that it will resume shooting on January 13th. Though there have been many rumours about the film being dropped, Kamal Haasan and producer Swaminathan (Pyramid Saimira) maintained that the film is only suspended for a brief period. Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan announced an interim project Thalaivan Irukkindran and news surfaced that this would be his milch cow whose earnings would go into making Marmayogi, meaning that Marmayogi will be held in abeyance for long. But proving all these surmises wrong, the message that Marmayogi will start on January 13th comes as a big relief for Kamal fans. Reportedly, Kamal Haasan will also go ahead with his Thalaivan Irukkindran, which according to the latest rumours, will star Tabu and Venkatesh too! It is to be noted that Kamal Haasan has not yet come up with an official statement about Thalaivan Irukkindran's cast. Anand

[arr] A.R. Rahman 's work will have to be kept in Cold Storage
AR Rehman usually composes music that captivates the masses but his work for the Champions League will have to be kept in cold-storage for a while. Even though the Test series against England was salvaged, the future of the other cricket event that was affected by the Mumbai terror attacks remains in doubt. The champions league T20 was already struggling to find a window in a crowded calendar and speculation is rife holding it next year too will be very difficult. A meeting between the promoters of the league, the BCCI; who own 50% stake and co-founders Cricket Australia and Cricket South Africa is being held on December 12 to find a way forward but many remain skeptical about whether that can produce any results. When you have a product like Champions League, there are many teams and many nations involved. So, to try and get a schedule that meets everybody's approval takes time and we need to fix it, said Lalit Modi. Not only is the calendar chock-a-block, there is also talk of whether the tournament will need to be restructured. It was meant to feature champion teams from India, South Africa and Australia besides the champions of England and Pakistan. Australia and South Africa are holding their domestic T20 tournaments in the first couple of months of the new year; so will the new winners mean the previous champions will be discarded? Seeking the answers to all these tricky questions is also the host broadcaster ESPN-STAR Sports who were only willing to say: As the global commercial partner of the Champions League Twenty20, we remain committed to launch and build this unique property as a marquee event in the international cricket calendar and we will be working very closely with the Champions League Twenty20 administration to develop the way forward. There were already fears that with the economic downturn; ESPN will struggle to find enough sponsorship to justify its near billion dollar investment to buy the rights for the tournament. At the end of the day it is the quantum of sponsors and in your eyes it might be a 100 per cent sell-out, but we have to keep in mind that ESS and we are here for a long haul. And I think one series is not going to make enough impact, stated Modi. Clearly after the success of the IPL, this has been a harsh wake-up call for the promoters of T20 carnivals. http://cricketnext.in.com/news/future-tense-for-champions-league/36418-13.html -- regards, Vithur

[arr] For Rahman, Music is God - Singer Srinivas
Srinivas He had developed the fine ear for music early in his life. When he was a mere kid growing up in Trivandrum, followed the bhajanai groups, who sang and went by the street during the month of Margazhi.He started listening to Semmangudi, M.D. Ramanthan and others through my aunt Mrs. Padmanarayanan,his guru in musichttp://www.hindilyrix.com/singers/singer-srinivas.html#. Then the soul-stirring voice of Kishore Kumar deeply influenced him during the length of my schooling years. Once in the Bombay University Department of Chemical Technology for his B. Tech in textile dyes, He fell in love with the ghazals of Mehdi Hassan and started representing his university in youth festivals. He worked as a chemical engineer for 10 years, before his passion for music got the better of him. In those 10 years, he progressed in his career, moved to Coimbatore, and got married. He approached the music maestro Ilayaraja, the numero uno in the tamil filmdom during the 80s, who offered an opportunity but unfortunately it didnt work . The singer is impressed with Rahman's dedication to music. He's totally absorbed in his music, and there's nothing else that affects him, says Srinivas in praise of the maverick composer, For him music is God. And he gets the best out of a singer. A die-hard fan of ghazal maestro Mehdi Hassan, and also addicted to R.D. Burman-Kishore Kumar hits, Srinivas has earlier sung for a couple of Hindi albums like Pagalpan and Ahsaas. The playback singer from South cuts his first private album in Hindi titled Yeh Duniya Sab Ki, which boasts of a new sound on the Indi-pop front…. Also he worked as a co-composer to Praveen Mani for Little John now. His first break came from Mahesh, for the Tamil film 'Nammavar'. Its 'Sorgam enbathu namakku' was a runaway hit, and his career in singing launched successfully.Right from the start, Srinivas was keen to sing for Rahman, after he heard his haunting score in Rojahttp://www.hindilyrix.com/songs/get_movie_song_roja.html. And his aim was fulfilled soon.He went and met A. R. Rehman after the phenomenal success of 'Roja' who auditioned him. He was then employed with a Trivandrum based company, as it's regional manager. He made Chennai his base thereafter in 1994-95 and started doing the track for advertising jingles and devotional albums. To start with he did the chorus for Rehman's 'Manamadurai maamara kizhiyile'. But he actually got noticed as 'Oo..la la la' happened (Film: Minsara Kanavu) to him. Then came 'En Uyire…' in Maniratnam's 'Uyire', the tamil version of his hindi movie 'Dil Sehttp://www.hindilyrix.com/songs/get_movie_song_dil%20se.html', and Srinivas was catapulted into fame. So much so that people started calling him 'Uyire' Srinivas ! After that, there has been no looking back for this singer. Srinivas has sung for leading music directors like Ilayaraja, Deva, Rahman, Vidyasagar, and in languages like Tamil, Malayalam, etc. He has made a foray into music direction through the tamil movie 'Ae Nee Romba Azhaga Irukke', in which he was one among the five music directorshttp://www.hindilyrix.com/singers/singer-srinivas.html#of the movie. And his composition 'Ini Naanum naanillai' in that film is a major hit. His famous albums include 'Ussele Ussele' and 'Paarvai'.His did Hindi assignments include Doli Sajake Rakhna, 1947-Earthhttp://www.hindilyrix.com/songs/get_movie_song_1947%20-%20EARTH.html%3C/a%3E and Raja ko Rani se pyar ho gaya . http://bornalike.wordpress.com/2008/12/09/ehsaan-noorani-srinivas-singer/ -- regards, Vithur

[arr] Shooting SDM
http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/oscars/la-en-mantleqa10-2008dec10,0,3921869.story Anthony Dod Mantle, cinematographer, 'Slumdog Millionaire' Shot on a mix of film and digital video, Slumdog Millionaire moves from shantytown slums to under-construction high-rises. By Mark Olsen December 10, 2008 How long have you got, and how can I best guide you in? So begins a phone call with Anthony Dod Mantle, the British-born cinematographer of Slumdog Millionaire on the line from his longtime home in Copenhagen. This blend of adventuresome attitude with a diligent attentiveness may explain why he has forged an ongoing creative relationship with Slumdog director Danny Boyle, with whom he has also worked on Millions and 28 Days Later, as well as with such demanding directors as Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg. Shot on a mix of film and digital video, Slumdog Millionaire moves from shantytown slums to under-construction high-rises, capturing the tumult and change of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) as it follows the life of a young man desperate to fulfill his romantic destiny. The film's style -- which finds a way to include a Bollywood-style dance number with hundreds of extras during the closing credits -- is an exciting reflection of a specific time and place, as well as the camaraderie and collaboration between Boyle and Mantle. (This interview took place before the recent terrorist attack on Mumbai.) Now that you've worked with Danny Boyle a few times, how does he convey to you what he wants for a film like Slumdog Millionaire, especially with how to shoot in the slums? He came with a few favorite adjectives like energy and speed and running, and he knows me well enough to know I'll give it a go. He can be very strong and stubborn, but that's also how he holds it all together. And we very quickly found out that even with ideas like energy, pace, speed, keep moving, do not try to control, at the same time I know he wants me to give him maximum quality. He'd never say that to me, he understands the difficulties, but I personally want to give him the best I can. For me, it's like you go into a place with that kind of contrast and that kind of energy and that kind of attitude, it is in the light, it is in the shadows. If you come back with 70% of that because you have inferior tools, it's like coming back with every third word dropping out of the actors' dialogue. That's very much my little crusade, so while Danny was casting in India I was back to Europe chasing around to different camera houses to try to configure these cameras to make it work. Can you talk about the decision to shoot some of Slumdog on film and some of it on digital video? How did you decide what to shoot on which format? Danny and I talked at first about shooting most of it on film, on celluloid, and some of it on this other format in the slums, because we had to find a way of just getting in there. What happens is, he falls in love with the cameras, he falls in love with the way I kind of move with them, and it was a new language we started to explore. Originally, we thought we were going to shoot about 70% on film and 30% on digital. We ended up shooting 60% on digital. And a small percentage was shot with a still camera on continuous burst, which intensifies the moment. Then I had to marry it all together. There's such a vibrancy to the film's depiction of Mumbai, the city becomes something of a character in its own right. Granted, we did stay in a Marriott and you had a clean bath and we got our washing done, but we were out in it generally six days a week, 16 hours a day. You can't help but get sucked in. Danny did say once he'd never seen me quite how I was sometimes in Bombay because he's so used to me getting on a controlled area in a quiet set and whipping it up to get the thing going. He saw me frustrated sometimes because we never got that. You are faced with an onslaught of energy all around up to the moment when the second slate goes and it's clear and sometimes I'm seeing my scene in the frame for the first time. And it's mentally exhausting. I had to adapt to a new way of thinking to keep my head in the story against that bombardment. There's that stunning shot of the rooftops in the slums where they seem to go on as far as the eye can see. Was that done with a helicopter? No, there's a little bit of helicopter stuff, which I delegated out to second unit. It's in the film but not very much. I just climb up. Everywhere I go, the first thing I do is look around on ground level, I look for holes in the ground and I look for hidden areas where we can plant small cameras. And I always look up, I look for vantage points and I send production people like rabbits up and around, trying to get permission and we get an access point. It's work, but it's about trying to get more of Bombay in the film. Olsen is a freelance writer.
