Finally good news for all Ajith-fans. The actor's long-pending God Father may eventually see the light of the day this Deepavali.

Close on the heels of Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu's release, all pending issues preventing the release of God Father directed by K S Ravikumar and produced by NIC Arts Chakravarthy, have been sorted out.

According to sources, God Father featuring Ajith in triple roles with musical score by A R Rahman will make it on the Deepavali day along with the likes of Vijaykanth's Dharmapuri and Vishal's Sivapathikaram.

Meanwhile Ajith is busy shooting for his Aalwar produced by Rajakaliamman films. After Aalwar, Ajith would act in a movie to be produced by Balaji Films, who churned out several movies starring Rajinikanth in the 1980s.

Buzz is that a debutant Vijay Anand, an associate of Malayalam director Priyadharshan, would direct the movie.

The shooting will commence once Ajith is through with his Aalwar.

A R Rahman, often referred as 'Mozart of Madras', is credited with taking Tamil film songs to the global audience. He not just stamped his class in Tamil film industry, but also asserted his mastery in Bollywood and also other parts of the globe.

A frequent globe-trotter, performing in various places across the world, Rahman is happy with his work in Sillunu Oru Kadhal which is currently rocking the audio market in Tamil Nadu.

His mix of jazz, folksy and simple melodies has been lapped up the audio fans. His next Guru for Manirathinam will hit the market this Deepavali, while works for Aamir Khan's Lajjo have already commenced. Expectations are high on Rahman's forthcoming venture Sivaji featuring Rajinikanth and directed by Shankar.

Known to work in the nights, Rahman seems to have changed his style of working for now. The soft-spoken music director, says, 'I have changed my approach towards my work. I work from early in the morning till night.'

Rahman had recently performed at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles in July, along with Global Rhythms, the world music band comprising American students, who are die-hard fans of the young legend.

He would also be commencing works for his private musical album soon.

A devout Musalmaan that he was, he offered namaz five times a day. At the same time, he had immense trust in Kashi Vishwanath and Ganga Maiya too. He never wanted to leave his beloved Varanasi where he lived all his life. When his contemporaries left India for greener pastures, Ustaad stayed put at Varanasi. He wanted Gangamaiya and Lord Vishwanath wherever he went. He was the recipient of many prestigious awards.

While paying tributes to him, A R Rahman feels that Ustad's place can never be replaced by anyone.

A R Rehman, the acclaimed music wizard, is all set to don a new role.

Rehman, who has achieved so much at such a very young age, is sought-after worldwide for his catchy music. Be it Tamil, Telugu or Hindi, Rehman has a place for himself.

Now the music maestro has plans to get into the music production business. He would be starting his own music production company titled KM music.

After starting a state-of-the-art music studio in Chennai, which has latest features in it, Rehman will be starting KM Music.

According to Rehman, the company will be trying to find new talents including composers but mainly new voices who could go unnoticed otherwise.

Rehman has plans only to produce music here and not distribute them.

There are several talents that go unrecognized. With KM Music, I am keen to help them to come to light, says Rehman.
