Hi Vithur - Who was the interviewer? Thanks Balaji --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Vithur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear All, ( A must watch video also... ) ARR Interview to Sun TV on Sakkarakatti ( Absolutely rocking one ) My heartfelt thanks to Sun TV for organizing this wonderful interview, and also for deputing a logical and a reasonable interviewer to interview the Meastro. He asked logical questions and it was a great treat. INTRODUCTION The Interviewer starts off by saying this When some one went and asked Swami Vivekanada, as to who is the person who is always successful in life ?. for which he replied, Whenever some one demeans you, be true to yourself. When some one praises you, don get swayed. That is the hall mark of a true successful man. I keep remembering one man 's name always, when I remember these words from Vivenakanda. A man with lot of awards, achievement, rising number of success figures, and surrounded by praises always, but still unchanged by the same smile, the same simple laugh, and sweet speech. The man whom I have been referring to, is not an alien born in some corner of the world. He is our own native, a person born on the soils of Tamil Nadu, a person who is bringing fame to each and every Tamilian across the globe, a wonderful brother and is none other than the Musical Storm A.R. Rahman. Come , lets go and meet him. Q :- There are so many Film Directors waiting for you, to make films, only if you compose music for them. In your success endeavours so far, Sakkarakatti has also been listed now. What do you feel about the success of this film music ? How did you accept this project and accepted the film ? AR :- I have earlier worked with Kalaipuli Dhanu with Kizhakku Cheemayile. He was the person, who introduced the Director Krishna of Jillenu Oru Kaadhal to me. At that time, he was telling me that his son would be doing a film, and asked if I could do the music for the film. I was busy at that time. He told, he is ready to wait for any amount of time. Usually, people say like that, but after three months, they would come and ask for a tune saying that the heroine is leaving somewhere etc . But they waited for 1.5 years with patience. Whenever I used to get time, I used to give them a song. So, its not my success, but its their success that they waited patiently. It's a success to the trust that they had in me. Prabhu is also a very patient guy, and he has religuosly spent time for making the song good, with all graphics. ( A new version of Taxi Taxi was shown . Just AWESOME .) Q :- You were talking about working with Dhanu Sir. And this is your third film with him. What would you like to say about the human being Dhanu ? Ar :- Everyone has his own quality, and the quality in Dhanu Sir, is that he uses his talent to the utmost extent. Its only certain producers, who spend so much of energy in highlighting their films to such extent. Q :- Normally, when people remember the word ' Taxi, they think of a means of conveyance. But now, people are associating it with the song from Sakkarakatti. Has this been specially or purposefully laid for attracting the youngsters, or is it comes natural to you ? AR :- Every three years, there is a change in the trend. The trend has been changing since the 90s. 92 it was different; 95 was different and 98 was different .. Now the trend is towards reggae style, Spanish, etc So, we thought of getting all those styles in the song. Actually, this was a last thought that we got. This song was composed in the fag end. Originally, the song was of a different tune , like a bhangra type. We had to modify the same, and in the last moment, a magic happened. We wanted a song like an engine. Na. Muthukumar speaks In Sakkarakatti, I have written three songs. Elay, Taxi taxi , I Miss U da. . Today, the CDs of Sakkarakatti have been a great hit amongst the public. Specifically, the song Taxi Taxi has got the rank No. 1 amongst the previous 20 years of Tamil Cinema. Rahman Sir wanted friendship to be described not in a negative manner, but still highlighting the negativity in a positive manner, and gave us the initial lyrics as Taxi taxi, nanbaa Nee oru Ilavasa taxi. If you write like this, it would be of great fun also. Kalaprabu speaks The Hero of the film SK is Shantanu Bhagyaraj. Vedika and Ishitha are the two heroines. As I had told before in many interviews, Rahman Sir has given us six boons and not merely six songs . Blazeee speaks It was really a blessing to be part of this song, when Mr. Rahman gave the idea about this song. Everyone would feel like dancing when you listen the groove. That itself is a magic, in the way, the song was started and all. When I wrote the English lyrics for this, Kalaprabhu
