This is not confirmed news yet i guess. But Gunasekhar is a commercial director known for building opulent sets in his films. He made Okkadu (which was remade in tamil with Vijay as hero). His films usually have music by Mani sharma. I am surprised that Raaja is considered.

By the way, the producer of Sri Rama Rajyam has roped in M.M.Keeravani for his next production to be directed by K. Raghavendra Rao

^yup! I'm aware of that! And I think Gunasekhar's graph has been on the down curve for some years now, right? All this aside, its just that the prospect of Raaja scoring for a period film excites me as a fan. anthE bossu.

A small digression:
Hope seasoned members of forum can clarify. Why is IR's number of films (>900) considered a guinness record? Lately, even simple thing like dressing up like Gandhi (highest number of kids on 2nd Oct), received Guinness record.

I checked IMDB for notable musicians like Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams etc. They haven't reached that high number.

Hope like symphony it doesn't continue to exist as unsolved mystery.

By the way, Balki's wife's English Vinglish is getting good reviews. And looks like the BGM has Raaja influence, as written here: http://movies.fullhyderabad.com/engl...ws-5088-2.html

They've roped in Amit Trivedi for the music, but interestingly, the background score retains an Ilayaraja touch. It is, in any case, a good collection of compositions.
