Gautham meets Rahman
January 17, 2009
Wishes continue to flow for Rahman following his Golden Globe triumph. We had earlier reported that Rahman had been congratulated by Rajnikanth, Shankar and the entire Endhiran team. Even former CM Jayalalitha had congratulated him.
Yesterday, Gautham Menon called upon Rahman and presented him a

bouquet as a mark of his appreciation of Rahman’s achievement. Gautham is currently associated with Rahman in a couple of projects, the noteworthy among them is Chennayil Oru Mazhaikalam.

The US state department to be headed by Hillary Clinton will “support February 2009 celebrations in India to commemorate the tour by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 50 years ago to study Mahatma Gandhi. This tour deeply influenced the American civil rights movement,” a media release here said.
The delegation will include Martin Luther King III, son of the slain leader, and US Congressman John Lewis, who was the youngest speaker at the 1963 Washington rally where King delivered his historic “I Have a Dream” speech.
The delegation to India next month will include legendary jazz musician Herbie Hancock, who will take part in a special tribute in Chennai on the theme of non-violence along with composer A.R. Rahman and actor and director Kamal Haasan.

AR to perform in Chennai | A Special Music Tribute
Media Note
Office of the Spokesman, Washington, DC
The U.S. Department of State will support February 2009 celebrations in India to commemorate the tour by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 50 years ago to study Mahatma Gandhi. This tour deeply influenced the American civil rights movement. The delegation, including Martin Luther King, III; civil rights movement veteran U.S. Representative John Lewis; and legendary jazz musician Herbie Hancock, along with other distinguished Americans, will meet with counterparts in India to underscore the enduring importance of the King and Gandhi legacies.
The delegation will meet in New Delhi with government leaders, social activists, and youth, and will travel around India to some of the principal sites associated with Mahatma Gandhi’s work. There will be two special musical performances featuring Herbie Hancock and others organized by the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. In Chennai, Indian musicians will conduct a special tribute, including performances of music on the theme of non-violence created by leading composer A.R. Rahman, widely acclaimed for writing the score to the current hit film “Slumdog Millionaire,” and a dramatic reading by film actor and director Kamal Haasan.
In February 1959, Dr. King and Coretta Scott King traveled throughout India in search of the roots of the nonviolent social action movement for Indian independence, studying Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals and meeting his followers around the country. Upon their return to the United States, Dr. King and other leaders of the civil rights movement drew on Gandhi’s ideas to transform American society.

Not that alone.
After Lagaan, he keeps shifting to Director's/producers choice (RDB is ROM may be he recommended)
Dil Chahta Hai - Mangal Pandey
Taare Zameen par - Ghajini
Now Three Idiots sounds interesting
may be for the next he will come back to ARR with mokkai script.
How great it would have been to hear ARR in DCH & TZP!

But then DCH and TZP had beautiful scores by Shankar-Ehsan-Loy. Be it so. They are good films with good music. Probably ARR might have done some good music too.. Still, the music of these films lack nothing. They are adequately brilliant in their own right.
