    After the success of Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish, director Mahesh Kothare is set to do his own Marathi version of the superhero. Promising a film “with a difference”, he has drafted in Binoy Samuel, who did the special effects for Hollywood movies such as Victoria Terminus and Manchurian Candidate.


    The director has cast fresh faces: Pushkar Jog will play Superman with Manasi Naik as the lead actress.

    Kothare is trying to convince A.R. Rahman to lend him one of his scores.

    “Rahman has heard my concept. I needed a special song for the film and he was just the music director I wanted. But he doesn’t score music for films other than Hindi and south Indian movies; so he is still thinking,” Kothare said.

    “Rahman is my choice for the title track. As soon as I get an okay from him, I shall select a track from his album.”

    The remaining tracks will be composed by Bollywood music directors Ajay-Atul.

    Rahman’s wisdom on music rights
    Dec 12, 2006
    This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com

    Looks like Rahman is on a campaign to emphasize that music rights be granted to the musicians themselves. If you might remember, the ace musician walked out of Shahrukh’s home production when the producers failed to arrive at an agreement regarding the music rights of the movie. Rahman wanted the rights of the songs and scores of the movie.

    A.r.Rahman
    Recently, Rahman has agreed to score music for the animated movie ‘Hara’, which is produced by Soundarya – Rajini’s younger daughter. I have obtained rights of my music for Hara. It is indispensable that every music director gets hold of the music rights, stated Rahman. I have been emphasizing this for quite sometime, he added.

    Rahman is not happy that Bollywoodies have shown a deaf ear to his royalty request. Not many in the Bollywood understand this concept, reiterated Rahman. I consider these rights over everything I gain in my life, declared Rahman.

    Is Rahman the best composer we have?
    Faridoon Shahryar, IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, December 13, 2006]

    A R Rahmans's three songs, `Khalbali' and `Lukha Chipi' from `Rang
    De Basanti' and `Chan Chan' from `Water' have been shortlisted
    amongst top 56 songs of Oscars this year. It's a big honour for the
    man and the country. This reclusive genius who works at his own
    terms and conditions (he records at night and everyone complies) has
    been weaving musical gems for more than fifteen years now. It's
    obvious to ask, if he is the best music composer we have…

    Having started off with Mani Rathnam's mellifluous `Roja', Rahman
    set a new trend in terms of electronic sound and new age music
    arrangements. He has always laid a lot of importance on high class
    production values, choice of the most melodious singers (he has
    given break to many new voices) and has consistently raised his own
    bar. His prowess in South film industry is unparalleled. But his
    music score in Hindi films like `Bombay', `Rangeela', `Dil
    Se', `Lagaan', `Yuva', Saathiya' and `Rang De Basanti' carries a
    timeless value. It can withstand the test of time. For each time you
    listen to a `Tu Hi Re', `Chaiyaa Chaiyaa', `Rangeela Re',
    Mitwa', `Humdum Suniyo Re', `Khuda Hafiz', `Paathshaala' or `Rubaru'
    you feel as if you've heard it for the first time. The freshness
    quotient in his music carries a tinge of mint.

    His last release `Guru' is a mixed bag. But even then, a few of the
    songs like `Tere Bin', `Barso Re' and `Jaage Hain' are miles ahead
    of any of the other music compositions in the recent times. A
    fantastic singer (as is evident in his rendition of `Vande Mataram')
    Rahman never went overboard in promoting himself as a singer the way
    a few upstart music composers have done in the recent past. Rahman's
    live performances are always sold out and he is the highest paid
    star while performing abroad (matching the biggest superstars). The
    biggest compliment comes his way when any and every music composer
    in Bollywood tries to copy him (recent example being Anu Malik in
    his music arrangements of `Jaaneman' soundtrack).

    Finally, A Rahman is definitely the finest music composer in
    Bollywood at the moment. And here record sales are not the criterion
    for saying that. Even Altaf Raja can sell a crore copies of `Tum To
    There Pardesi'. The criterion is the union of commercial viability
    and unmistakable virtuosity as a genius. `Rang De Basanti' is one of
    the recent examples from his repertoire where he blends brilliance
    of music with exceptional artistic
    sensibilities. `Rubaru', `Khalbali', `Lukha Chipi', `Rang De
    Basanti' and `Paathshaala' entertain and ignite a passion-for- change
    at the same time.

    Indiaglitz wishes A R Rahman all the best in his endeavour to bring
    more laurels to the country. Hope he brings an Oscar home…
