Also, remaking this highbudget project takes a lot of time and effort. I dont think this would happen, that too with SJ SURYA in the lead role. Remaking it with a mainstream hero like Vikram or Surya too is a himalayan task. Let us expect only a dubbed version of the Telugu make. Telugu heroes have NO MARKET in Tamil. But even Harris Jayaraj's telugu films were dubbed into tamil just because of his brandname. So, definitely, PULI will also be dubbed.

There is just one song to be shot at a hotel still under construction near Anna Arivalayan in Teynampet. The Oscar winning duo of AR Rahman and Resul Pookutty have jammed for 'Endhiran' - Rahman has composed six songs for the film, one of which he has sung himself. Sound designer Pookutty has been handed the final edit of the film and is busy inputting the big action sound effects to polish the film before release. The producers of the film have already spent crores on the film but director Shankar is contemplating on a 3D version, the conversion would be done digitally during post production (like in the new Harry Potter film). Shankar's strategy is to bring audiences to the theater, and keep pirates at bay, in case you didn't already know, his previous film 'Jaggubhai' was widely pirated, and was even available on the internet on the day of the release. The director was shown a 3D demo of the film by a leading special effects company, and was highly impressed by the result. 'Endhiran' has already broken a lot of records, AR Rahman is now the highest paid musician in India and Aishwarya Rai is the highest paid Bollywood actress of all time, with an upfront fee of Rs 6 crore. Aishwarya beat out the likes of Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Asin, Trisha Krishnan, Shriya Saran, Priyamani and Nayanthara who were approached to star in the film. Endhiran was filmed in Himachal Pradesh, the US, Vietnam, Brazil, with a song shot at the historic site of the Machu Picchu in Peru! Four hundred students from the Vellore Institute of Technology were used as extras in the film. The fight scenes in the film were choreographed by Yuen Woo-ping, who worked on 'The Matrix', the animatronics and puppetry were done by Hollywood's Stan Winston Studios, the visual effects/CGI were rendered by Industrial Light Magic.

None of the singers of the original song were invited to participate in the update, which was recorded at the same Hollywood studio once again under the oversight of Quincy Jones and the song's co-writer Lionel Richie. In all, more than 70 stars lent their voices to the song, and they all seemed in awe of each other. As celebrities, we're fans of one another, so we're all looky-looing in there, and getting autographs and numbers, said Natalie Cole. Streisand, Celine Dion and Tony Bennett appeared to inspire the most stares. Fifteen-year-old Canadian heartthrob Justin Bieber joked that he would ask his new friend, RB singer Akon, to get the telephone number of Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls. Streisand, a noted perfectionist, ran through multiple takes of the line originally sung by Diana Ross, each one seemingly better than the previous one. Jazz singer Patti Austin came into her recording booth to coach her. Guitar virtuoso Carlos Santana sang along, even though he is not a singer. Two members of the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson and Al Jardine, appeared to ignore each other. 'INSPIRED CHAOS' Classical crossover tenor Josh Groban described the event as inspired chaos. It's great to see so many legendary artists sweating it out. Everybody left their ego at the door, he said, referring to a request made by Jones at the original session in 1985. To be smack-dab in the middle of a sandwich between Barbra Streisand and Weezy (rapper Lil Wayne) was personally a creative experience I don't think I'll ever have the pleasure of having again, Groban added. For his part, Lil Wayne said his mother asked him to get a photo of Gladys Knight. He was among a heavy quotient of hip-hop stars, including Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Drake, LL Cool J, and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas as well as West. Hip-hop is rock 'n' roll to a lot of people around the world, right now, said Jones, explaining the absence of the modern-day equivalents of original performers Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan or Paul Simon. Lil Wayne, for one, noted that he was not a singer, and thought organizers were joking when they asked him to sing the line originally sung by Dylan. Asked if he did a better job, Lil Wayne said, Hell no! Country and Latino artists were notably under-represented. Organizers said they were turned down for various reasons by some stars. In fact, most of the big Grammy winners from the night before were absent, including Beyonce and Jay-Z, who returned to New York, and Taylor Swift, who flew to Australia straight after the ceremony. Randy Phillips, one of the organizers, said his one regret was the absence of dance-pop star Lady Gaga. The song, which was still being worked on into the small hours of Tuesday, will make its world premiere during NBC's coverage of the Vancouver Winter Olympics on February 12. Both the song and an accompanying video, shot by Oscar-winning Crash director Paul Haggis, will go on sale both through traditional and online retailers. Phillips said all proceeds will go to a newly established foundation that will carefully monitor disbursement. The January 12 earthquake killed up to 200,000 people in Haiti and devastated the already impoverished nation. http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE6111GG20100202?sp=true

One such talent is Raqueeb Alam. He is the lyricist who wrote Ringa Ringa in Slumdog Millionaire overnight. Rahman called me from London, one evening and said he would be sending me a music composition on email. What followed was a night-long video chat that resulted in Ringa Ringa, Mr Alam said. The casually dressed gentleman has an unassuming air about him, as he narrates the story. Rahman is, of course, particular about perfection. When I gave him my first verse, he was not very satisfied, he said. When the second verse was presented, the musician okayed it, but gave Alam the sense that he was not completely satisfied with it. And so, I worked on the third verse, and that's went to the studio. The lyricist has one other song verse from Jalsa and six songs where he has given his voice for playback, to his credit.

Re: [arr] Are the Oscar Jury known?
Rawat, There is no jury as such. The entire academy (all the members) select the winners in all categories. The nominees are selected by branches of the academy (i,e actors will vote for the acting nominees, the music branch will selected the music related nominees etc..) But for the final winners, everybody votes. The Academy is quite an exclusive club and AFAIK its membership list is not public. A lot of P.R. schmoozing goes on to influence this group. Explicit lobbying (bribing) is obviously prohibited :-) Simon Beaufoy, (the screenwrited for Slumdog and who is also nominated for an academy) who is doing the PR rounds, was here at my workplace for a QA session. Lots of interesting discussions about the movie, Bollywood, India.. Simon was praising Rahman as a superstar and Pookutty as a genius who did miracles with sound on the Mumbai streets. Somebody asked him about the opening slum sequence and if the song (O Saaya) was composed before or after the shoot. Simon mentioned Rahman (he kept calling him AR) came in late into the project. They were working with a temp score and O Saaya was composed after the edit. We had another screening of the film (the third one, I think) here and once again, in email discussions that followed, the music was mentioned by a lot of people as brilliant. Rahman's NPR interview and KCRW (Morning becomes eclectic) interview were forwarded around. Oscar or not, ARR has definitely gained a huge number of new fans, who are keen to explore his other scores.

Re: [arr] Sakkarakatti doesn't melt in your mouth, like its tagline says (Cho Chweet!)
It's very upsetting to see that talented young directors who are making path breaking films in Tamil don't have access to ARR and these mediocre rich kid directors/producers (U16 E18, now Sakkarakatti) etc and can get ARR to score for their films. I strongly suspect Sultan is going to join this list. On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 7:49 AM, Vithur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.rediff.com/movies/2008/sep/26sss1.htm These days 'Youth' movies are in. Directors pride themselves on being able to capture the pulse of the urban, savvy, hip audience with stylish songs, perfect dialogues, a cast-iron plot and a quirky cast. Certainly, Kalaippuli Dhanu's Tamil film *Sakkarakatti *(Lump of Sugar), directed by his son Kalaprabhu aims to hit the nail on the head with its target audience -- but the director has failed to win the jackpot by a mile. It really doesn't look that bad when you see the opening shots: an up-market, beautifully designed house (courtesy art director Jacki) and you're introduced to the cast of characters: the hero's father (*Nizhalgal * Ravi), mother, sisters and brothers (all played by insignificant characters as they obviously make no impact) and then, finally, the hero himself, Yuvraj (Shantanoo Bhagyaraj) -- a precocious ten-year old who ogles at girls whenever he can. So far, so good. There's even a song *Elay*, which conveniently shows his transition to adulthood. He and his friends all speak swanky English, drive expensive bikes, wear designer clothes and cool haircuts. Forget the fact that none of these characters resemble the average collegian at any point. Yuvraj also, for some reason, despite having lived in Chennai all his life, has a weird American accent that gets on your nerves. Cut to his first meeting with his would-be-girlfriend, Deepali (Ishita Sharma), who wears even more skimpy clothes, tosses her styled hair often and speaks Tamil like a five-year old. Yuvraj falls for her instantly, and on his first day of college, guess whom he should meet? Yes, it is Deepali. Surprise, surprise. In no time at all, and without even the proper groundwork of getting to know one another, the two fall in love. But what's a simple love story without the done-to-death triangle? Enter the default Reema (Vedhika), looking beautiful and glamorous: Yuvraj's cousin. She too, with no rhyme or reason, falls for our hero. And when, at an appropriate moment, she expresses her love, she's given a flat denial. To give him credit, Yuvraj does seem apologetic. But good manners don't impress Reema, who's furious and frustrated. In the meantime, Yuvraj continues romancing Deepali. Which is the cue to introduce another of A R Rahman's peppy numbers and the SFX team (Ocher Studios) has gone all out in producing cowboy sets, fantasy flying, strange and wonderful lands where the hero and heroine cavort in joy or sigh in depression. Obviously, the makers decided that every Rahman number must be given its due! And then it is back to the lacklustre storyline, where Yuvraj is continuously egged on by his friends, is pursued by Reema, and chases Deepali. Circumstances show Yuvraj and Reema in a compromising situation, and Deepali promptly catches the two together. But just when you think the story's going to heat up, it flat-lines again. Shantanoo (who doesn't take after his father) plays safe in this movie: it's been tailor-made for a young hero who has little to do except romance his heroines and generally look good. Shantanoo does this well sometimes and not-so-well at others. There are no fight scenes (thankfully) so he doesn't have to prove himself there. With practice, though, he looks like he'll improve. (Why Bhagyaraj, who's a master of screenplay, lets his son choose such a pointless script though, is a mystery.). Ishita's a mess; she can't act to save her skin and when she speaks her emotional dialogue, the theatre boos loudly in protest (of course, that might also be a reaction to the terrible dialogues itself). Vedhika, whose earlier work includes *Muni* and *Kaalai* has acquitted herself well. At least her dialogue-delivery and expressions are marginally better. She's wasted though. Shantanoo's friends, except one or two, don't gel at all. As for * Nizhalgal* Ravi and the rest, they mysteriously disappear after the first reel and are never seen again. Kalaprabhu really needs to observe the world around him if he needs to come up with a plausible screenplay, dialogues and performances. Picturising A R Rahman's songs in SFX, throwing in American catch-phrases and making his characters swagger in designer wear won't make a good, peppy film. If he'd capitalised on one or two of the good points in the screenplay, the film would've actually worked. Judging by the catcalls at the silly climax, the theatre is left with an audience that obviously expected a lot from the dazzling promos and songs, but is frustrated and

Re: [arr] RAHMANIA SHOW - SINGER TANVI ON ARR
Thanks a lot, Vithur. Posts like this make this group so special. On Dec 14, 2007 7:15 AM, Vithur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Rahmaniacs, It gives me great pleasure in sharing the excerpts of today's Rahmania Show . Singer Tanvi ( Jillenu oru Kadhal Song fame) was present on the show today, and the various points which was shared today is as below :- 1. She started singing from 13th May 2003. Her first song was Fanaa - from the film Yuvaa ' ( Yaakai Thiri in Tamil from Ayidha ezhithu ) . After that there was no question of looking back. She is not only a singer, but also a costume designer. She is a proepr Chennai girl, went to the US for graduation . There she was singing, recording in her garage, and that CD accidentally or miraculously reached ARR. ARR called up Tanvi, and wanted her to sing for him. He used to say Come, Sing this song for me . At the first instance, she was pinching herself to believe if it was reall true. After singing for ARR, she started learning Western Classical . Her mother was a sitarist. She was basically a Gujarati Tamil. 2. Their family were in Chennai, and their ancestors had been in Chennai for the past 200 years. She learnt hindustani. She knew Spanish, but only for singing purpose. ARR wanted her to come with some Spanish jibbery for Oru Koodai Sunlight song from Shivaji . She wrote the lyrics in Spanish. After two days, she came to know that it was a completel different song altogether. The song was incidentall sung by her in that movie. 3. Her mother was not a performing sitarist, bust used to play the sitar at home. Father used to play the Dol during his school days. She had her own Band called ' Zahera ( meaning Upcoming or Budding ) . She didn;t know dance, but just used to take care of the rhthym. In her stay in the US, she was staying with Egyptian Roommate, Dutch people, who were famous for Belly Dancing. She just picked it up from them. She knows many languages, including Arabic. She says that she is an open person, and has to go a long way before she can be claimed a celebrity. 4. After singing Style Song, she was part of the Chorus of One Love ( Taj ) Album of ARR . She also wrote the lyrics of ' Ek Lo Ek Muft song with Gulzar for Guru. In that song, ARR wanted her to sing imagining herself to be drunk. The bit she sang was ( Joyya Joyya... ) , which was recorded in the 3rd Take. She didn't learn lryics writing. She started writing lyrics based on the situation. If she was pushed to write in English, she told she would do that too. 5. She has been doing Creative Designing; Jewellery Designing, Interiors, Styling. i.e. Dressing up people for a show. She runs 3 stores in Hyderabad. Her family is famous for charity. She donates 25% of her income to the Cancer Institute, which was started by her great grandfather Shri. Nanalal Bhatt. Her band troupe 's first show was for aiding the Cancer Isntitute. She performs live along with her co- band player, whose name is Shiva. 6. Jillenu Oru Kadhal :- Before the song came out, She was just singing the track. They were two people. There was another girl called Sonia, who was supposed to sing with her, but Sonia went off to Canada. Tani was very sick, when ARR called her up, but he told that he would wait for her to become OK, and insisted her to sing the song for him. He told that he wanted 5 voices in that song, and also the feel lile L.R. easwari, Asha Bhonsle in that song. Tanvi brought different format styles of singing in that song :- Low Octaves; High Octaves; Cartoon days; Sound of a Kitten . She was very excited to see her song in the film. She claims that all her songs with ARR has been a different feel. ARR uses her voice very nicely, and he proves her potential . She even thanked him for utilising her potential, which even she didn;t know well. ARR SONGS WHICH SHE LIKED THE MOST 1. Chandralekha Song from Thiruda Thiruda - Anupama has sung that song very well. She says that she hasn't heard that much of force anywhere 2. Tere Bina - Guru . ARR has sung very well. Chinmayee has also sung very beautifully. 3. Lukka Chuppi - Rang De Basanti - That song makes her cry everytime, she hears it. The lyrics have been written so well resembling what a mother feels and talks to her son. She has also sung the Introductory Song for NEW , along with Sunitha Sarathy. ARR wanted different noises in that song, and it was Tanvi who made the noise Meou ( cat's sound ) , out of which came the sound new in that song. -- regards, Vithur A.R.RAHMAN - THE GOD OF MUSIC
Re: [arr] Golden Age etc.
I was watching Jet Li's Kiss of the dragon the other day and the music was by Craig Armstrong. There were lots of indian influences through out the score. So while watching The Golden Age, don't attribute all the indian sounding music to ARR :-) On 9/18/07, Ranojoy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A R R has written seven scenes for the film (Actually I can't remember the technical term that he used, but seemed like a considerable amount), while Craig Armstrong has done the rest.

Re: [arr] Chances that A.R.Rahman can do Re-Recording for Dasavatharam
In Indian cinema, rerecording is simply the background score. On 5/5/07, rayrai2k [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Re-recording is the process with which the audio track of a film or video production is created.

Re: [arr] Rahman may give music to kirtans of Annamacharya
In the case of Annamaiah, most of the songs have been set to tune only very recently (60s ?) by Venkataraman (all those popular songs sung by MS). So may be it won't be as big a crime, if Rahman does tune them differently. On 3/11/07, Kamal Aakarsh Vishnubhotla [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I hope Rahman doesnt change the original tune of the compositions or the melody. because no composer should change the traditional krithis. it will invite the wrath of many people and also marks disrespect to the original composer (Saint Annamaacharya). At the best, he can only embellish with background music...like he did for Vandemataram-Revival in his album vandemataram..

Re: [arr] The singlers list..!
Hi Chandra, interesting list. Off the top of my head - Anupama has done a lot of singing for ARR (mostly in Harmony). I think she was credited as the lead fot atleast one other song (Mercury Pookkal) - Minmini has also sung a few songs (Paarkadhe from Gentleman, Pudhiya Mugam, Gang Master etc) - P.Susheela - Duet and Indian - Reena B sang Main vari vari - Abhijeet sang Teri Meri Baat from Sapney On 12/1/06, up84mouli [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Fans, Hope everybody enjoyed Guru. This is a slightly unimportant topic but like a small good break from the intense discussions related to Guru and from various other topics. There are singers who become famous after singing for ARR. But the ones in this list have sung for him just once..!! Okay, apart from a few exceptions there are two main reasons: 1. They are professionals in some other field and dont sing much. 2. They are much bigger talents in their forms of music and dont sing film songs much. 1. Ashutosh Gowariker (Swades) 2. Arjun (Parasuram) 3. Bharatiraja (Karuthamma) 4. Manoj (Taj Mahal) 5. Silambarasan / Simbu (Kaathal Virus) 6. Anupama (?) (Thiruda Thiruda - Chandralekha song) 7. Minmini (Roja) 8. P Susila (Poo Kodiyin song from Iruvar) 9. Bombay Jayasree (Narumugaye - Iruvar) 10. Reena Bhardwaj (?) (Yeh Rishta - Meenaxi) 11. Bhattacharya (?) (Jack n Jill - Parasuram) 12. Usha Uthup (Daud title song) 13. Kumar Sanu (Mellisaye from Mr. Romeo in Tamil. I guess he sung the hindi one) 14. Nusarat Fateh Ali Khan (Chanda suraj - Vande Mataram) 15. Abhijeeth (or is it Abhishek?) (Chidiya song in Nayak) (?) means I am either doubtful of the name, the song or whether they really have sung only one song. Corrections arr welcome. This is not including the most recent ones and also excluding the list of singers from Hollywood ventures like BD, WOHE etc. Also not in the list are the ones who collabarated for Jana Gana Mana version of A R Rahman. Neither is the list complete or absolutely correct - something for you to think over and come up with... Thanks for reading. Chandra.
