i guess the music would come out well... based on how thiagarajan was able to extract music out of the oldern days music directors for his films like malayur mammattiyaan etc...

wat i say is, when you cant avoid something, u just need to go forward positively with wat u got... so now, as the project is almost been taken up by ARR, lets hope he twinkles as "kuppaiyil oru komedhagam"
i am with softsword on this one. also, in kumudham or whatever arr mentioned he is going to work with TMS. i think its for this film. although, i am not totally excited for the movie, i am really very excited for the music. its gonna rock for sure!!!Quote:

Director Krishna talks about ARR in Aahaa FM
1. How did you become a Director ?
It was a long cherished dream of about 12 years . But the starting point of me becoming a director was because of Rahman Sir. I didnt have any idea of whom to start this film from , and how to go about it . Kalaipuli Dhanu was the producer. One day, Dhanu Sir called me and told me that an appointment with Rahman Sir has been sought and he told me to come. I was so happy to listen to him saying that as I will never know if such a time would ever happen in the future. It was a very rainy day, and my bike was also giving me some problems. I came to ARR studio fully drenched. Rahman sir told that he would listen to the script another day.But I was ready with the script. And also asked if we could finish it in 15 minutes, as he had some other commitment to follow. But I took 2 1/2 hrs of his time. He didnt tell anything, and even switched off his mobile and was listening.
After 2 1/2 hrs, he told to call Dhanu ( Producer ) and asked " When can we have the composing ?". And that day cannot be forgotten in my life
First I met Rahman sir, and then only was the script finalised with Actor Surya. we did the recording for Munbe Vaa song .
2. When did you get to hear Rahman Sir songs ?
right from the time Roja , I have been liking Rahman Sir song.
The first song that Rahman Sir gave was Munbe Vaa, and next was Machaikaari. Picturisation of Rahman Sir songs was a tough challenge for me. He composes music so superbly, and its a real challenge to picturise them well. When I had discussion with Rahman Sir, regarding Munbe Vaa song, I told him the desire of picturising it in that way. So Rahman Sir visualised it before I could visualise and gave me that wonderful song.
3. Other experiences with ARR ??
Apart from his music, which no can fathom, he is a very good human being. The thought that I had about him at a distance , got transformed into an admiration, when I went near him. A man of such heights, behaving like a very ordinary person increased my admiration levels. He sees everybody as a human being, irrespective of whosover he may be and whatsoever he may be. I am also trying my level best to be like ARR
4. David Lee - Fav Hollywood Director
5. future Film - Yen Eppadi Mayakinnai - Its a film produced by Motherland Pictures .
6. Fav Songs of ARR - Kaadhal Rojave, Vennilave ( Minsarava kanavu ) , Maduraikku Pogadhadee ( ATM ) . Athiradhee ( SIVAJEE )
A director must be a good experiencer of music. He should be able to experience it first. ARR finished all the songs of SOK within 30 minutes. The first and foremost tune of ARR was liked by me . ARR told me " I do not know. I liked working with your team. It makes me feel energetic".
Fav Songs in Hindi - Roobaroo ( RDB ) , chaiyya chaiyya, Tanha tanha ( Rangeela ) , Chinamma Chilakkama ( Meenaxi )
Yen Eppadi Mayakinnai - Future film; a Musical Film. I wanted ARR for this. But he is too busy. But If I approach him, he will not say " NO". But I do not want to pressurise him for this. But I wanted ARR to light a candle for my film, as I am inroducing a New Music Director. ARR asked me " Tell me ; What help you want". I seeked ARR's Blessings for which he told " You will surely become a good director. Do not worry. My prayers are always there "

C M Karunanidhi’s request for A R Rahman
Chief Minister Kalainyar Karunanidhi had hit the bull’s eyes with his stupendous works with his recent flick Uliyin Osai. The film is successfully doing well among the masses and now, he has kick-started with his next project titled ‘Ponner-Shankar’. The film has Prashanth donning dual roles and it’s a historic period movie about brave brothers raising their voices against the colonial domination.
Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi had personally invited A.R. Rahman to his residence. Sources close to him have stated that he has requested Rahman to score music for this film. Kalainyar had watched period films like Lagaan, Mangal Pandey and got enthralled with Rahman’s musical score.
Now, Rahman has almost accepted to score music for the film and things would be confirmed sooner. Some Media quoted A R Rahman visited CM regarding KM music conservatory. Now it becomes entirely different scenario. So we need to wait n watch. A week ago Thiyagarajan told that he would be roped in with the country’s best technicians to make the film as an unforgettable historical movie in Indian Cinema.

Film music sales rising
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, July 23, 2008]
Until a few days ago, the Tamil film audio market was dull and all fingers pointed to piracy as the reason for dipping sales. Most audio companies started cribbing but their fortune has taken a new turn.
The audio shops are back to making brisk business and audio CDs are sold like hot cakes now.
Due thanks should be given to corporate who entered the field and also the catchy albums which were released in the past few days.
Rajinikanth's 'Kuselan' set to tunes by G V Prakash, Harris Jayaraj's 'Dhaam Dhoom' and 'Sathyam', A R Rahman's 'Sakkarakatti' and Yuvan Shankar Raja's brisk tunes in 'Saroja' are sold like hot cakes.
The songs in these five albums are already topping the charts. Music-lovers are keen to buy them as they feel the songs are worth listening to.
The audio shop owners say there are very good turnouts in their shops. Hopefully the trend would continue.
to NOV: the thread title has been cut off. please edit the "(par"... thanks and sorry for being so picky. looks a bit weird.
yuvan:'we wanted rahman sing in saroja'
Saroja music director Yuvan says that he wanted ARR to sing song in this movie but ARR's contract with Sony prevented that. He also says that he shares a very good relationship with ARR unlike wrongly reported by media. Director mentions that bringing ARR to that function was tougher than doing that whole project. "We kept contacting him thru' email, SMS, Phone.... We heard that he was much impressed with what we had mentioned about Yuvan in Saroja invitation.. .. He also sent a message - 'You people are rocking' - after listening to Saroja Songs.." ------------ --------- --------- --------- -----
Does anyone know what was mentioned in
'சரோஜா' திரைப்பட ஒலி வெளியீட்டு விழாவில், ரஹ்மான் யுவன் சர்ப்ரைஸ் சந்திப்பு!
''20 வருஷத்துக்கு முன்னாடி இளையராஜா சார்கிட்ட நான் கீபோர்டு வாசிச்சுட்டு இருந்த நேரம், 'அங்கிள்'னு என் பின்னால் ஒரு குரல் கேட்கும். திரும்பிப் பார்த்தா, குட்டிப் பையனா யுவன் நிப்பார். குறும்புக்காரப் பையன். அதனால், யுவன்னு நினைச்சாலே, எனக்குச் சிரிப்பு வந்துடும். இப்போ, யுவன் பெரிய மியூஸிக் கம்போஸரா வளர்ந்து நிற்கிறார். இப்பவும் எப்பவும், ஆல் தி பெஸ்ட் யுவன்!'' என்று ரஹ்மான் வாழ்த்த, யுவன் முகத்தில் அவ்வளவு சந்தோஷம்!
யுவனிடம் ரஹ்மான் பற்றி கேட்டால், ''எங்க சந்திப்பு உங்களுக்குத்தான் சர்ப்ரைஸ். எங்களுக்குள் ஈகோ இருக்கும்னு நிறைய பேர் நினைச்சுட்டு இருக்காங்க. ஆனா, எங்களுக்குள்ள நிறைய ஃப்ரெண்ட்ஷிப்தான் இருக்கு. ரஹ்மான் சார் ரொம்ப கூல். அவரோட மியூஸிக், பேச்சு, சிரிப்பு, ஸ்டைல் எல்லாமே தனி. எங்களுக்குள் எப்பவுமே ஒரு நல்ல வேவ்லெங்த் இருக்கும். 'சென்னை 28', 'சரோஜா'னு என் மியூஸிக்கில் அவரைப் பாடவைக்க முயற்சி பண்ணினேன். ஆனா, 'சோனி கான்ட்ராக்ட்'டில் இருந்ததால் அவரால் பாட முடியலை. நிச்சயம் எதிர்காலத்தில் என் இசையில் அவர் பாடுவார்!''
எளிதில் சிக்காத ரஹ்மானை எப்படி இழுத்துக்கொண்டு வந்தீர்கள் என்று 'சரோஜா' இயக்குநர் வெங்கட் பிரபுவிடம் கேட்டால், ''படத்தைவிட அது பெரிய புராஜெக்ட் தலைவா! லேண்ட்லைன், செல்போன், எஸ்.எம்.எஸ், இமெயில்னு பலமுறை படையெடுத்துப் பிடிச்சோம். இன்விடேஷனில் யுவன் பத்தி நாங்க எழுதியிருந்த விஷயங்களைப் படிச்சுட்டு ரொம்ப இம்ப்ரெஸ் ஆகிட்டாராம். சரோஜா பாட்டுக்கள் கேட்டுட்டு 'யூ பீபிள் ஆர் ராக்கிங்!'னு மெசேஜ் அனுப்பினார். எங்களுக்கு பயங்கர ஹாப்பி. அதுக்குன்னே ஒரு ட்ரீட் வெச்சேன்!'' என்கிறார் அசத்திய மகிழ்ச்சியோடு!

In spite of his busy schedule, music director A. R. Rahman has managed to find time to carry out a project, which is very close to his heart.
After kindling the spirits of youngsters with his album 'Vandematharam' with which he retuned our national anthem 'Janagana Mana', Rahman is now working on an album based on Thirukkural.
It may be recalled that Ilayaraja had rendered an album on Thiruvasagam with loads of spirituality in it.
Rahman in the company of rap singer Blaze is working on the world famous Tamil literary work Thirukkural now.
'We want to take Thirukkural to the next generation. We are doing it with utmost care and dedication in such a way that the poetic genius of Thiruvalluvar is retained' says the highly talented Rahman.
Rahman is producing the album which is sure to captivate the hearts of the young.
http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-mov...-25-07-08.html
In a recent interview to a tabloid, A R Rahman expressed his desire to release the Tamil verse collection Thirukkural in rap format. He replied so when asked what would be his contribution to the younger generation.
Rahman further mentioned that the project would involve desi Rapper
A R Rahman
Blazee, who is already on the job of preparing the format and would be a novel attempt to popularize Tamil literature. As per Rahman, Blazee would sing Thirukkural in rap version and Carnatic music would be used to mix in the background. Rahman was also quoted as saying by the tabloid that he would only produce the album and music would be rendered by Blazee himself.
Why does it ALWAYS have to be Blaaze? :evil:
it will be wonderful if it features many rappers instead of just blaaze.
but whatever it is, we r in for a sure treat because of the poetic nature of thirukural.
I never trust Behindwoods. Thirukkural in rap format. Such a ridiculous idea. You think nobody's going to protest this? Behindwoods is the same site that reported that Shaggy was on a song from Sivaji!
True man... thirukural and rap?? Goodness... the amount of problem that would come.... unimaginable !!!!!!!Quote:

yosichithan namma thalaivaru ethavum seivar.lets see what happening!
:sigh2:
Watched Tamil Music Awards yesterday in Isaiaruvi channel. Did anyone watch it? What a humble gesture ARR adopted :D
Lets look at the positive side...People like me and the younger generation have completely no knowledge abt thirukural..In fact i have no idea wats thirukural :D :oops: By westernizing thirukural, the younger generation will definitely appreciate it...As long as it delivers a good message, im not against ARR and Blaaze working on thirukural...Quote:

So ARR is gonna try something different which may bring some lively songs :roll:
