Hip-hop singer Akon and A.R. Rahman will work together in an album

Looking at his fame in Asian countries, especially in India, Akon has decided to release a special album which would be a conglomeration of bhangra and hip-hop. And to accomplish this, he is rumoured to have contacted A.R. Rahman.

Akon is also said to have contacted Sonu Nigam, famous Bollywood playback singer who is touted as the "next Mohammed Rafi", for a similar project. Well, if this project takes off, it would be lovely to hear Sonu's mesmerizing voice serving as the background to Akon's rap.

Akon rose to fame in India with the song 'Mr. Lonely', an international chartbuster featured in his debut album Trouble and this magic was repeated in 'Smack that' (Konvicted). His 'Belly dancer' from his debut album 'Trouble' did well too, making Akon an international symbol of hip-hop music.

The 19th Step


Director - Bharatbala

Producer - Manas Malhotra, Bharatbala [Bharatbala Productions]

Script - M.T.Vasudevan Nair


- The 19th Step is the only Indian film to have ever been selected for the prestigious Hong Kong Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF).

- The 19th Step will be the first martial art film from India. It will also be the first Indo-Japanese co-production of its kind. It is a film about one culture's journey into the other, telling a universal story aimed a larger worldwide audience, tracing the origins of the martial arts to Kalarippayattu, a fighting style practiced in Kerala in Southern India. Kerala and Japan both have highly evolved forms of martial arts, literature and performing arts; and are uniquely linked through similar cultural practices. The 19th Step will be the first film to explore this cultural linkage.

- Kenji, a bloodthirsty Samurai warrior haunted by the ghosts of his turbulent past, travels to India seeking the infinite power of the ancient martial art Kalarippayattu, but ends up acquiring powers far greater & beyond the martial art’s 18 steps of learning – into the realms of a mystical 19thStep.

I love the different cultures that Birmingham has and this collaboration provides a bridge between the East and West nations at an important time in history. I chose Birmingham because of its rich diversity and the friendly people. I would very much like to see Birmingham become Capital of Culture - it seems to be the only place in Britain where different cultures live happily alongside each other. Art is the only way to transcend our different cultures and I am very excited to be involved in this project. I will be composing the piece over the next six months between Birmingham, New York - where Bombay Dreams goes to Broadway - and my present home in Madras." [ Birmingham Post]

Rang De Basanti Absolutely 'Don't Give It Up' Radio Rework

After MSV the creator and Ilayaraja the pioneer came Rahman the innovator. The 1990s belonged to him. Rahman emerged at a time when technology was a given, and was creating global access to musical sounds from anywhere to anywhere. He was moulded by the age of jingles and music videos, downloads and virtuality.

Rahman is the innovator of what may be described as `Studio music'. It is often critiqued that while Ilayaraja controls the machine, it is the machine that controls Rahman! Harsh as this criticism might be, Rahman's music is the outcome of separately and distinctively worked out multi-track musical phrases and sounds that are subsequently mixed and patched together as one layered musical piece. The lyric is often fitted in.

In contrast to MSV and Ilayaraja's virtuosity, Rahman's music reflects his effort to synergise his musical vision with the possibilities of technology and musical arrangement. His is studio music that does not easily accommodate a sense of the `live'. One is often amused by Rahman's stage shows where the technical sound is cleverly managed, but the singers struggle to cope with their breathless songs simply because the songs were never meant to be sung live. They are musical phrases pieced together for a cinema trend that itself is predominantly cut-and-paste.

What makes Rahman the numero uno of Indian film music? Despite contemporaries like Anu Malik, what has made Rahman the first among equals?

It is clearly a combination of his audio and visual appeal. His musical arrangement is technically excellent and justifies his musical vision. He has the special talent to enhance the digital ambience to produce sound with a three-dimensional feel. He has the ability to evoke energy and mood through a song, and create touching moments through sound. He is intuitive in picking on the right inspiration for the right musical moment, say, Arabic for Hamma Hamma ("Bombay"), Indian raga-pop for Que Sera Sera ("Pukar") or Turkish for Maya Maya ("Guru"). And even if he is not the first to pick on the right inspiration, he will ensure some kind of a `first' — a new voice, a new instrument or just a new turn of phrase. And he is the best at wrapping and delivering sound so that a nation swings to it.

There is the international profile to boot. Rahman packages what is now known as global music. He simplifies the main melody, fuses it with sounds from world music and arranges it skilfully. This has made his music more edible and sought after in the international scene. From the remixed versions of Vande Mataram and the Indian national anthem to the Broadway musical "Bollywood Dreams", Rahman is the mascot for new-age nationalism and international merchandising.

In an era when people see rather than hear music, Rahman is also camera-friendly. He comes across as an eclectic fusion of spirituality and youth. He is casual and yet not informal. He exudes humility and confidence at once. He is the cool dude that the young can identify with, and the elderly find endearing. Along with the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, he has fulfilled the great Indian populist need for a `national hero'

hennai, July 30 - Disc Jockeys and upcoming musicians Khalid and Blaise said Wednesday they are all set to create a remix rap version of 'Thirukkural' under the baton of ace music director A.R. Rahman.

'We had several rounds of meetings with Rahman before he approved the tracks of remixing the couplets with classical music tracks of his score,' Khalid told IANS Wednesday.

'Since Rahman's path-breaking version of the patriotic song Vande Mataram has already appealed to India, under his supervision Thirukkural will win the world,' Blaise added.

Sources close to Rahman revealed that rap artiste Blaaze -, who sang in 'Bunty Aur Babli', has been signed to render the Tamil work into music appealing to all ages and continents.

The singer, whose real name is Lakshminarasimha Vijaya Rajagopala Seshadri Sharma Rajesh Raman, calls himself Blaaze and has achieved repeated success through screenings of his work on television channels.

Incidentally, Blaaze was the first Indian to be featured on VH1 music channel.

Blaaze has also sung in the recent Rajnikant hit 'Sivaji The Boss', besides the Amitabh-Abhishek-Rani Mukherjee starrer 'Bunty Aur Babli'.

Saint Thiruvalluvar, who is believed to have been born 30 years before Jesus Christ, authored 'Thirukkural'.

His 1330 couplets' compendium of Thirukkural is an interpretation of the right and wrong in every aspect of life.

Its philosophy has a global appeal and it has been translated into over 60 languages. The Tamil calendar was named after him.

A.R. Rahman was named the best music director for his score in Guru at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) 2008 awards held at Bangkok on June 8. He was also honoured for outstanding achievement by an Indian in international cinema.

Shreya Ghoshal won the honours for the best playback singer (female) for Barso re from Mani Ratnam's Guru. The film also bagged awards for the best background score by A.R.Rahman and best song recording by H. Sridhar.

The best playback singer (male) award was bagged by Shaan for Jab se tere naina from Saawariya.

Veteran Javed Akhtar was named the best lyricist for Om Shanti Om.

The audio-launch of 'Chakkarakatti', which marks the launch of veteran actor-director K. Bhagyaraj's son Chantanu as hero, was held in the city recently. The film has music be A.R. Rehman.

'Kalaipuli' Thanu is the producer while his son Kalaprabhu will be making his directorial debut with 'Chakkarakatti'. The event was attended by Poornima Bhagyaraj, Saranya and Chanthanu besides Bhagyaraj himself. The audio CDs were released by president of TFPC Rama Narayanan and were received by Karima Begum, Rehman's mother and Poornima Bhagyaraj.

Speaking at the event, Bhagyaraj came down heavily on some frontline heroes who were very adamant in starring in movies directed only by known and 'successful' directors. 'If one were to work only with known faces, there couldn't have been a Bhagyaraj nor could there have been an A.R. Rehman had Mani Ratnam been so adamant in the early nineties' he thundered.

He asked whether these heroes didn't believe in their own star power and acting prowess to carry the film forward. He said that a hero, who has had 3-4 flops in a row can still bounce back with a hit film whereas it would be very difficult for newcomer directors to get another chance if their first film fails to create any impression.
He said he would like to make a personal request to these heroes to commit themselves to act in at least a single movie in a year in a newcomer's film. By that way, many upcoming directors would be benefited.

While one might not find any fault with Bhagyaraj's view, it may not be out of place to mention that in the cut-throat world of Tamil films, heroes too have their own justification in not willing to go with a newcomer as a director.

These heroes normally don't do more than two films in a whole year; if one of them by a newcomer miserably flops, it might prove to be a major setback for a leading hero in the stiff competition he is facing now. In that scenario, the heroes need to be extra-careful in deciding about their directors to further their own careers, if not for anything else. And, there are a few new directors, who have failed to make use of the opportunities given by the leading actors.

Music maestro A.R.Rahman has given some really diverse music this year. While he started the year with Ashutosh Gowariker's period film Jodhaa Akbar, he surprised everyone with the young and peppy tunes which he composed for Aamir Khan Productions' Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na.

If you think that's all you get to hear of Rahman this year, then you are wrong. While his music for Subhash Ghai's magnum opus Yuvraaj is being awaited with bated breath, he is also composing the music for Aamir Khan's Ghajini.

And for all you die-hard Rahman fans, there is some more good news. The music maestro has also been roped in by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. to compose the music for their multi-starrer Blue. Blue has been in the news recently as major portions of the film featuring actors like Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta, Zayed Khan and Katrina Kaif were shot in the exotic locations of Bahamas. With Rahman coming into the picture this adventure ride only gets bigger and better.

Kamal Hassan finally signs music maestro AR Rahman for his home production, Marmayogi . It is going to be Kamal Hassan’s next venture after Dashavtaram . Kamal himself will co-produce, direct and act in this film.

Rahman was in Mumbai for a short visit, when he revealed his next venture. A smiling Rahman in a black suit discloses, “It’s strange, but Kamal and I have never worked together. We stay in the same city, work in the same industry, but we have never got an opportunity to work together. But this is an interesting project and I will be working on the tracks as soon as I reach Chennai.”


However there were several rumours doing the rounds about Rahman turning into a film producer. This question actually got the composer to burst out laughing. He retorts, “Me and produce films? When will I compose music if I am dealing with production hassles? Even I have heard that I have approached Aamir Khan and Kamal Hassan to direct a film for me. Well, it is utter rubbish. I am not trying my hands at screenplay either. I will leave that to the experts.”

It can be recalled that before this, Kamal Hassan’s film was backed by Bharat Bala Production along with Adlabs. Though Marmayogi will be made in Hindi it will be dubbed in Tamil and Telugu.

A. R. Rahman has begun composing songs for the Rajini starrer 'Robot'.



Sources close to the music composer say that work has already begun in earnest as director Shankar is keen to started filming this August.

The director is on a location hunting spree while Rahman is busy composing the tunes. With Rajinikanth having completed the shooting for 'Kuselan', it looks certain that 'Robot' will begun in this August.

'Robot', produced by Ayngaran International, will have Aishwarya Rai playing the heroine. The mega-budget movie will be shot in various locations across the globe.

Rahman's instant success is owed to his clever usage of Western instruments. His interest in the works of Classical and Romantic period composers, Carnatic composers, early film composers and predecessors K. V. Mahadevan and Vishwanathan-Ramamoorthy of the film industry of Tamil Nadu and others continued through his late teens. He further explored and trained in Carnatic music, Western classical, Hindustani music and the Qawwali style of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, in addition to numerous other styles. His interest and outlook in music is said to stem from his love of experimentation.[4][7] As a result, his scores have alternated from songs and themes composed covering a variety of genres, with unconventionally-grouped instruments, and different vocal styles being used and combined together in some of his film soundtracks, to more traditional orchestral themes with leitmotif techniques composed in others. Rahman's works often feature a mix of minimalist songs and evocative, thematic pieces, building on his differing chord progressions and rhythms. He has written scores and songs with new and varied melodic and percussive sounds from instruments of different music systems.

In 1991, Rahman began his own music recording and mixing studio, attached to backyard of his house, called the Panchathan Record Inn. He initially composed music jingles for advertisements, Indian Television channels and music scores in documentaries, among other projects. In 1992, he was approached by film director Mani Ratnam to compose the score and soundtrack for Ratnam's Tamil film Roja. The debut led Rahman to receive the Rajat Kamal award for Best Music Director at the National Film Awards, the first time ever by a first-time film composer. Rahman has since then gone on to win the award three more times (for his scores for Minsaara Kanavu (Electric Dreams, Tamil) in 1997, Lagaan (Tax, Hindi) in 2002, Kannathil Muthamittal (A Peck on the Cheek, Tamil) in 2003, the most ever by any composer.[5]

Roja's score met with high sales and acclaim, in its original and dubbed versions, bringing about an effective transformation in film music at the time, and Rahman followed this with scores for films including, among others, Bombay, Kadhalan, Indira, Minsaara Kanavu, Muthu and Love Birds, which gained him notice. His soundtracks gained him recognition in the Tamil film industry and across the country for his versatality in classical, folk, jazz, reggae, soft rock and other styles in his pieces. Rangeela, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, marked Rahman's debut in Hindi films. Many popular and superhit scores for films including Dil Se and Taal followed. The sales of these albums prompted several film producers to take film music more seriously.

Rahman's work is also unique in the fact that his collaborations with some film directors have always resulted in successful soundtracks. In particular, he has worked with Mani Ratnam on ten films until 2006, all of which have been musical hits. Also notable is his collaboration with the director S. Shankar in the films Gentleman, Kadhalan, Indian, Jeans, Mudhalvan, Nayak, Boys and Sivaji.

His first movie album Roja was listed in TIME's "Top 10 Movie Soundtracks of All Time" in 2005.[6] Rahman continued to record frequently in his studio, the Panchathan Record Inn. In 2005, a newly developed recording studio, attached to the Inn called A.M. Studios was opened. It is considered to be the most developed, equipped and high tech studio of Asia. In 2006, Rahman launched his own music label, KM Musiq. Its first release was his soundtrack to the film Sillunu Oru Kaadhal which it released worldwide, in August 2006. His latest work includes Saathiya, Rang De Basanti, Sillunu Oru Kaadhal, Guru, Varalaru - The History of the Godfather, Sivaji: The Boss, Azhagiya Tamil Magan, Jodhaa Akbar, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na* Sakkarakatti and ADA: A Way of Life . Rahman has also scored for the movie Provoked, co-scored Elizabeth: The Golden Age,. He is a recipient of the Padma Shri award from the Government of India.

Rahman has been involved in several projects aside from film. He made an album Vande Mataram (1997) on India's 50th anniversary of independence to immense success. He followed it up with an album called Jana gana mana, a conglomeration of performances by many leading exponents/artists of Indian classical music. In addition to writing jingles for ads, he has composed several orchestrations for athletic events and T.V. and internet media publications, documentaries and short films.In 1999, Rahman, along with choreographers Shobhana and Prabhu Deva Sundaram and a dancing troupe from the Tamil film industry performed with Michael Jackson in Munich, Germany, for his "Michael Jackson and Friends Concert." In 2002, he composed his maiden stage production Bombay Dreams (2002) following a commission from famous musical theatre composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. Furthermore, Rahman, along with the Finnish folk music band Värttinä, composed the music for The Lord of the Rings theatre production. He composed the piece "Raga's Dance" for Vanessa-Mae's album Choreography (2004).

n 1991, Rahman began his own music recording and mixing studio, attached to backyard of his house, called the Panchathan Record Inn. He initially composed music jingles for advertisements, Indian Television channels and music scores in documentaries, among other projects. In 1992, the first time he got chance to enter in film field, through a Malayalam film named Yodha. Its director Sangeeth Sivan who realise Rahman's talents already. And with this good entry he was approached by film director Mani Ratnam to compose the score and soundtrack for Ratnam's Tamil film Roja.

A. R. Rahman was born to R. K. Shekhar, a composer, and conductor for Malayalam-language films. His father was a famous music director in Kerala. But he did not get enough opportunities there. His father died when Rahman was nine years old, and his family rented out musical equipment as a source of income. Rahman is an adherent of Sufism. His family converted to Islam from Hinduism in the late 1970s.
          During these early years, Rahman served as a keyboard player and an arranger in bands such as "Roots" and "Nemesis Avenue" with friends including Sivaman, embracing numerous music genres. He played the keyboard and piano, in addition to, among others, the synthesizer, the harmonium and the guitar. His curiosity in the synthesizer in particular increased because, he says, it was the “ideal combination of music and technology".He began early training in music under Master Dhanraj. At the age of 11, he joined, as a keyboardist, the troupe of Ilaiyaraaja,one of many composers to whom musical instruments belonging to Rahman's father were rented to. Rahman later played in the orchestra of M. S. Viswanathan and Ramesh Naidu, accompanied Zakir Hussain, Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan and L. Shankar on world tours and obtained a scholarship to Trinity College of Music in London, where he graduated with a degree in Western classical music.
Once in an interview with Vijay TV's Coffee with Anu, Rahman described P. Susheela as his most favourite singer ever, whom he worked with in the Tamil film Pudhiya Mugam
