Walking Taal
Sound bytes from A R Rahman
His Month-Long US Tour kicks off on Sunday. Before whizzing off, A R
Rahman was in town for quick chats with the media.
Some Questions:
News is that you've teamed up with Subhash Ghai again after
Kisna.
ARR:
Nothing like that. We Were working on a movie called
MOTHERLAND. It didn't happen because he had date hassles with his
hero. But we've been in touch. Now He's come up with Yuvraj.
Which I've Accepted.
You're judging the Tamil Music Band Hunt show Oo La La?
ARR:
Yes, with Vasundhara Das but it's not on a National Level. Right now
we're only doin 20 episodes. Its restricted to Tamil nadu. If it clicks
there, we'll try to push it on the national level. Large-scale ventures
are possible only if there's time.
what's the news on your music for the stage show, Lord of the
Rings?
ARR:
The preview is on in London already. It releases on June19. The preview
has drawn positive reviews. I'm Quite overwhelmed with that because
I've worked on it for a quite while.
You're suddenly into several anthems.
ARR:
(Laughs) No, no its just that lots of companies approach me for
anthems. The idea has to connect with me instanly, as with Pray for
Me Brother. Taj is aimed at creating awareness to get the Taj into
the list of Seven Wonders of the World. Anthems to find me.
Is Himesh Reshmmiya singing for you?
ARR:
(Laughs) Of course, I Remember he wanted to sing for me. After
asking her to sing for me for 17 years,my sister did just in that in
SIVAJI. I dont think I'll have to wait that long for Himesh.
It's on the Cards. It Should Happen Soon.
