Shruthi Haasan’s handicap is her name
IndiaGlitz [Friday, April 06, 2009]
Kamal Haasan is a proud father, but one who thinks that the famous Haasan name is a disadvantage to his daughter, Shruthi. Kamal Haasan believes that his name is a burden that Shruthi will have to carry and live it. On a more positive note, he feels his daughter has all the makings of being an extraordinary actress and singer, if she chooses to be both or either.
The lass is being paired opposite Imran Khan, whose successful 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' has earned him many offers. The movie, titled 'Luck', is a raw action flick and will mark Shruthi’s debut in Bollywood.
The actress learned music at the Musicians Institute in California, and is also well-versed in North Indian classical music. She started of with “Potri Paadadi” in her father's film 'Devar Magan' then went on to sing for the bilingual versions of the 'Hey Ram' title track and her latest was for Gautham Menon's 'Varanam Aayiram'.

Livingston turns music director
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, March 17, 2010]
At a time when many directors have become actors, here is an actor who has taken the avatar of a music composer. He is Livingston, who will sit in front of the keyboard for a film titled ‘Thandachoru’.
Apart from scoring the music, the actor will take care of story, screenplay and dialogues departments of this comedy movie, which will be directed by Irudhayaraj, a newcomer. Besides, he will also play an important role in it.
“I was initially a singer. I had performed in many stage shows before becoming an actor. I am scoring music for ‘Thandachoru’ with this experience and hopeful that my songs would be liked by one and all,” says Livingston.
On the film, he says, “the story will convey a message that beauty of the heart is more important than beauty of the face. Newcomers are playing the lead roles. The shooting will start by May and plans are on to release the film by this year end.”

Playback singing in Tamil cinema is getting younger and spunkier by the day. But that is in no way upsetting veteran singers! Karuna Amarnath does a voice check…
"There's nothing wrong with change… if it is in the right direction," said Winston Churchill, and we can't agree more. But even if change is inevitable, it isn't always sweet. Especially when it is forced and not by choice; when you have to make way for a younger lot to take over the mantle…
Of late, we've seen this kind of change take over the playback singing industry in Tamil cinema. A host of regular, notable voices are now being replaced by younger, spunkier and more enthusiastic singers - a trend that has introduced the industry to a whole new genre of music and a generation of newer talent.
In fact, most among the renowned singers have been relegated to judging TV reality and talent hunt shows and making appearances as celebrity guests on talk shows, while the youngsters are crooning their way to success.
But award-winning singer Sujatha Menon is not perturbed. "I think change is always good. In fact, I feel that bringing in new talented singers is great because they have the energy and enthusiasm to get the best out of a song. I'll be happy if my daughter (Swetha Menon) replaces me for a song. As far as judging goes, only if you bring an experienced singer will the competition hold any value, right?"
What's interesting is that thanks to this change, the sound and quality of music that's being rendered has also changed tremendously over the years. Oscar award-winner, Tanvi Shah analyses, "Playback singing has changed because directors are open to diff erent tones and voices. The singer who comes in doesn't only have the usual 'husky' or 'high-pitched' tone. There is also more scope for world music, and that's because the public wants that kind of thing."
Sujatha goes on to add, laughing, "Can you imagine me singing Kodaana Kodi (from Saroja)? It won't sound good at all! I was off ered Kaatrin Mozhi' (from Mozhi) because that song needed a more mature voice. It's nothing to feel bad about. Everyone needs to move ahead graciously."
Could this change be because younger music directors feel insecure about working with experienced singers? Twenty two year old music director, GV Prakash denies it instantly, "In fact, it makes our job much easier to have experienced singers. It's just that most fi lms today require more 'attitude' and a 'freestyle' kind of singing. And the younger singers are willing to play around and experiment. For us, it is about the voice matching the song and not the person."
However, Suchitra Karthik, who was one of the fi rst few to make an entry with an unconventional voice is realistic. "There's no competition when it comes to experience!" she smiles, "Let's just say that the music trend right now is leaning more towards young and spirited voices because the fi lms demand that. When it changes back to mature and 'real,' everything is going to go back to the way it was."
While competition between the younger and older breed of musicians still remains stiff , singing sensation, Benny Dayal feels that replacing more experienced singers is very optimistic. It in no way means we are losing respect for anyone. "We won't be here if we didn't grow up listening to their songs or singing them at competitions! At the end of the day, we are all making music, not war. We don't have ego clashes because everyone is happy for each other. I hope it remains that way." Great camaraderie, oodles of respect for each other's space and encouragement means there's no room for insecurity. And, that's what makes the playback singing industry soar ahead – young and experienced working together like clockwork…
