I have mailed agi and asked them whats the new album all about..no reply.. www.agimusic.com

My next film is to have the musical score by him. Without Ilayaraja's scores, my films are nothing. We are great friends.

BR admits that KC, Karuthamma, Andhi mandarai and DAJmahal and KKS nothing....ARR requires this and much more for having associated with some one who doesn't know what he is doing...even to the extent of going to HR for a tamil film.

Idhula vera..ARR did the entire score for Andhimandhaarai for free. BR received the best story and regional award for that film from president.

ARR...unakku idu theva dhaan

BR's words are not in good taste. I know he said in one of his audio cass's which is Kizakku chemaiyle or karuthamma where BR says " Adutha nootruandu kana isaiai ippove vazhangi kondu irukum isai puyal A R Rahman"

SPB always reserves his choiciest encomium on legends like MSV and our Raja. Few weeks back in "ennodu paattu paadungaL" jaya tv, SPB and one violist Mr.Ramasubramaina who also played the violin for "paadu nilaave " song were analysing the beauty of the "Grahabedham" in the second interlude before the charanam. SPB told though many MDs indulge in this "visha parikshai", Raja alone knows the knack of blending these seamlessly with the main tune.
How true!!! I was reminded of "neelakuyile unnodu naan" and " oru raagam paadolodu" "Ananda ragam" songs. Listen to the graghabedham in the second interludes of both of the songs and feel the goose flesh . How Raja lands to the charanam back again is truly amazing!!!

buggle thats indeed a good news. I just did a 'quick' google search on 'quick gun murugan' which was a slick comedy i used to enjoy in MTV or channel V??!! long back.
but there is no mention of 'raaja' anywhere in relating links and its not a Hollywood venture its a Indian venture only

Hope Raaja is indeed the MD and we can expect a good comedy and musical entertainer

BR Issue - BR is a very emotional person. SO his words should be read with caution . He had made lot of comments . Hi scomments 'for' a MD should not be read as comments 'against' the MD's competitor/peer.

I subjectively felt that after ARR did good amount of justice to BR films . He did supress his urban instincts for all BR films . Esp if you hear the song ' Kaadu potta Kaadu' you can feel the soul of a villager , i don't think any other song was so energetic in expressing the feelings of a rural folk !

But having said that , IR 's music had the serenity stamped all over IR's songs , something was a a 'bit' missing AR songs of BR !

"Telugu film comedy hero Rajendra Prasad is currently acting in a film titled in English, 'Quick Gun Murugan'. "

The Website says that this film is titled in English, as against many people saying here as English Film.

Each of the Naan Kadavul songs is going to be for about 8 minutes.
