6 Songs : Mind Blowing!!
Source :HinduTimes

Simply mind-blowing

November 20

Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi can’t stop raving about the songs of Mani Ratnam’s Yuva. “A.R. Rahman and Mani Sir and dynamite together,” says Vivek on the sets of Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria’s Masti, and adds, “The six songs Rahman has recorded for the film are mind-blowing.”

Ajay Devgan, his co-star in Yuva and Masti, uses the same words to describe them. Incidentally, when the film was launched earlier this year, Mani Ratnam had decided not to have a single song in it.

Vivek also feels that Abhishek Bachchan’s is the best role and best performance in the film. “That guy’s career will take off in a big way after Yuva,” predicts Vivek.

  Tell us about your character in Yuva.
  
  I play Lallan Singh who belongs to the streets of Kolkata. He has to fend for himself from a very young age. He has no parents, only an elder brother. Having grown up on the streets, he has developed certain traits. If he needs something, he does not ask for it. He goes and grabs it.
  
  His main concern is his own survival. He does not bother what people say about him. He is a rugged character.
  
  He is a very passionate person, regardless of what he is doing. If he loves you, he loves you to death. If he hates you, he can probably kill you. He is a very interesting and complex kind of person. It was enjoyable to portray this character.
  
  Coming from well-to-do family background, how difficult was is for you, as an actor, to play a street guy without seeing the harsh reality of street life?
  
  We are actors. Our job is to act. At the end of the day we have to remember we are acting.
  
  I try to bring in as much realism as possible. I do that by becoming observant. I sit with the director and understand my character and what I need to bring out in that character.
  
  If I come from a privileged family, it does not mean I cannot understand that character. Besides, Mani was very clear about Lallan Singh. It was not tough at all because he knew what he wanted from me in this film.
  
  A R Rahman's music for Yuva is a hit. Which is your favourite number?
  
  I like all the songs. Two songs have been picturised on me.
  
  Mani and Mr Rahman have come up with a new sound and style.
  
  All the songs are my favourites. It is very difficult to choose one among them. It is an enjoyable album.
  
  How different is Mani Ratnam's style of working in comparison with that of Bollywood directors?
  
  A director is a director.
  
  Like every actor, each director has his own unique way of working. They have unique approaches to their art and craft. Mani is no different. Like other directors, he has his own style.
  
  Every time you sign with a new director, you have to adjust and find a rapport with them. It is just that it takes time a rapport to form between an actor and a director when they work with each other for the first time.
  
  There is no difference between a director from the south and a director from the north. We all are making a film.
  
  This is an entertainment industry. We all want to make good films.
  
  Any particular shot in Yuva that satisfied you immensely?
  
  The whole film was creatively very satisfying. There is no particular day that I can remember [as being better than the others]. The entire making [of Yuva] is memorable for me.
  
  Generally, Hindi films aren't shot at Kolkata. How come Yuva is set there?
  
  I don't know! I guess, visually and cinematically, Kolkata suited the background for the film.
  
  What was working with Ajay Devgan, Vivek Oberoi, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor and Esha Deol like?
  
  It is wonderful to work with so many cast members. They are all my good friends.
  
  In this film, I only had the opportunity to work [shoot scenes] with Vivek, Ajay and Rani.
  
  I have worked with Rani in my earlier films. She is a good friend. Ajay is like an elder brother. This is the first time I am working with Vivek. He is a great actor.
  
  It was one big team. It becomes like a family when you shoot a film outdoors. I only hope this reflects on the screen.
  
  There was a great sense of camaraderie on the sets. If you have people like Ajay and Vivek on the sets, it will be fun. We kept fooling around.
  
  But it was tragic when Vivek got hurt. We were supposed to finish the film in that schedule. We all were concerned about him.

  Dear RCK:
  
  --I shot all the three [characters] in three different negatives to get a distinct effect.
  
  Can you tell us from where you copied the idea? atleast for Surya\'s character? Or you are looking for full credit?
