When whiz director Shankar, who has made a career out of Rehman's music in his films, chose Harris Jeyaraj for his much-talked about Anniyan, tongues naturally started wagging that Shankar and Rehaman have had a fall out.

The rumor mills had it that Rehman took inordinately long time for composing music for Boys that Shankar was thoroughly miffed.

Alas, director Shankar has put an end to speculations that he opted for Harris Jeyaraj to score music for Anniyan only after a feud with Rehman.

Shankar says "I have no problems with Rehman. He is a rich treasure with abundant talent. Hailing from Tamilnadu, Rehman has made it to Bollywood and Hollywood with his extraordinary effort. He has got little time to concentrate here. Whereas I need to spend a lot of time with my music director for getting my songs composed. Hence, I went for Harris Jeyaraj this time. As such there are no troubles or difference of opinion between me and Rehman".

So how does it feel working with Harris? Shankar is chuffed. "However I am happy that Haris Jeyaraj has done what Rehman does for me."

The highlight of Harris' music in Anniyan is said to be couple of undiluted Carnatic songs.

26th January 2005, 07:59 PM
Guys,
Picturization of a song/concept of the movie has nothing to do with the music director. For example some of Kamal's movies like Indran Chandran had vulgar crap in it. But nobody said Illayaraja should move away from Kamal.
The lyrics in the movie "New" wasnt vulgar. If they were you should blame Vairamuthu for writing them and ARR for composing music for those lyrics. What the director does is beyond the reach of the MD.

:) Peace out.

NOV
27th January 2005, 07:14 AM
Congratulations guys! I see some maturity on your part, when you don't hold any thing against some one who has had a fallout with your idol.

Shankar has been one of the most glamourous directors in Tamil Film industry, taking it to new heights and reaches. I used to be a defender of the movie Boys - problem was Tamil audiences largely expect all films to cater for all audience. We need to grow out of that thinking. As a person who was personally affected by "the scene" (thats another story), Boys is nothing more than a page out of most teen males lives.

NOV, i hope u didnt include me in that "guys" grouping :). I still stand by the fact that Boys is not a vulgar movie. Its taken exactly like the way a lot of teenagers/college students talk. I was just defending ARR saying that even IF it was vulgar, it wasnt the MD's fault. One more thing the very reason for this topic was to say that there was/is NO fallout between them.

Vairamuthu- Illayaraja patch up?
IndiaGlitz
Friday, January 28, 2005



Vairamuthu the noted lyricist and national award winner seems to be in a mood to bury the hatchet with Illayaraja. “ We had worked for five years only but our rift has lasted for 20 years. Even today people are asking about us means our working together has made a lasting impression. When I felt I was losing importance he sent me out. In the spur of the moment I had too reacted. Now with time everything has mellowed down I hope. In between Illayaraja had a problem which I suggested a solution through Rajni. If not for working relationship at least we should be friends. I went for his son’s marriage. Let us see” said Vairamuthu. The lyricist said that A R Rahman’s Godfather in which he writes the lyrics would be a hit. It is now the turn of Illayaraja.

Another Tamil Project ?? Mazhai - Simbhu & Thrisha


baluradhika asks Hi Chanakya, when r u going to direct your own movie
including music?
Silambarasan says Maybe next year. But the music will be by Rahman


saigan asks wht is ur next film after thotti jaya
Silambarasan says I am doing a movie with S.J Suryah. He is directing
the movie. Rahman is giving the music, Jeeva is the cameraman. I am
also writing a script and the movie name maybe `Mala`.


http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=13630879

Simbu and Trisha teaming once again?


After a gap of almost a year and a half, Silambarasan and Trisha will
be coming together in a film titled Malai. Their earlier movie Alai
with a wafer thin story and predictable scenes miserably failed at
the box-office. There were even rumours about alleged romance in real
life too.
P.L.Thenappan produces this film for Sri Rajlakshmi Films.
Interestingly Thenappan launched three projects – Madhavan-Sada
starrer Priyasakhi, Srikanth - Gopika starrer Kanaa Kanden and this
film with Simbu simultaneously.
It is believed that after the super-duper success of Manmadhan (where
Simbu has done the directorial supervision), the producer has
considered Simbu's name for direction too. If not Alai, will Malai do
the trick for them at least this time?

Another Tamil Project ?? 20-40-60 by S J Surya -RAJINI ??

S J Surya to direct Rajini:

Behindwoods
January 28, 2005


After Chandramukhi, Rajini has accepted the offer to act in the Jayam fame ‘Editor’ Mohan’s movie. As Rajini usually plan’s around only three movies a year, many kollywood directors are striving to get a suitable story for him, so that they may get a chance to do their film with the Super Star.

The first among these directors’ is director cum actor S J Surya, who is already ready with a suitable story, exclusively tailor made for the Super Star. The story has been named 20-40-60 by S J Surya.

According to the story line, Rajini stars in triple roles and pairs along two heroines in the film. The story line for the film is also said to move along in a rapid pace such as Rajini’s previous ventures like Muthu and Basha.


As the script for the story is also ready at hand, Surya is looking forward for an appointment with the Super Star.

Mr.NOV and to all ppl. defending shankar.....see perversion is one thing i'm against and not good sexy scenes.......it is still so romantic to see "pudhu vellai malai"'s scenes......but feeling aunty's a**es while they r shopping is too much(girlfriend song)...even SJS shuld be condemned for perversion but he gets the benefit of youth which is not the case with shankar who is so much experienced now......

and to all ppl., have u guys analysed ARR's recent flop movies.....it is all cos of directors(supposedly big)......they give a bad movie and it falls on ARR's head......here's the list:
1.Swades-Ashutosh's painfully slow movie
2.Ayutha Ezhuthu - no azhutham from Mani in this movie
3.KKS- was it bharathiraja???i can't believe it....
4.Boys- Shankar's poor script......

so guys i think ARR has to work with young minds...if he continues with these "pistha" directors then his end is pretty near......

As a matter of fact, in an interviw on Sun TV, Deva praised ARR for his achievements. IIRC, he said that, ARR, at a very young age came up with the wonderful Vande Maataram album. It appears, though, that ARR is not much interested in doing BGM.

NOV, however much we may say that the rivalry is among fans and not the MD's, I somehow feel IR and ARR are not in the same wavelength, as far as genuine friendship is concerned. :D

I may be wrong, that's just my view.

Hollywood Celebrities for Anniyan audio release


The much hyped Vikram - Shankar combo film Anniyan’s audio release scheduled to be on April 14, the producer and the director are planning to bring Hollywood celebrities for the audio launch.
The movie in its final stages has been made on a lavish budget. Shankar’s movies normally generate great excitement for their stunning picturesque locales and for their songs. With Harris Jayaraj’s music in Anniyan the excitement has doubled. There are high expectations among the distributors, audio cassette dealers and the media.
‘With an intention to give the Tamil audience a movie with the Hollywood standard, I am producing this movie and Shankar has brought it to reality’, says Ravichandran.
The film distributor says “The songs in Shankar’s movies always turned to be big hits, Jeans for instance made a record. Anniyan would break that record too”. :roll: :lol:

100 Anniyan = 1 Parasuram

So you know where Anniyan Stands. I think Shankar will realise when Anniyan is released and will struggling to beat Boys.... Man, boys music did not get recognization because the boys flop, if hte movie would have been hit, then it would have broken couple of records. Just Miss...

In all your earlier films, the highlights were the chartbusters from A. R. Rahman. Now with "Anniyan," you are teaming up with Harris Jayaraj for the first time. Do you miss Rahman?

I agree that Rahman and I have clicked in a big way, but both of us have decided to go our separate ways. And working with Harris is an experience, and he has given me some amazing tunes, which, I assure you, are going to be mind blowing.

Who is not nandri ketta dog. If Mani is only grateful to IR (specially after Thalapathi), then there is no ARR (Roja). If KB is only grateful to IR, then there is no ARR). If BharathiRaja is only grateful to IR then there is no ARR.

If only ARR has more gratitude for TFM, then we will not have this discussion.

The movie field is filled with people who are pure opportunists and finding gratitude is very difficult. Only exception is Kamal sticking with IR (atleast in Raaj Kamal movies), so no reason why Shankar should be blamed. Also how long can a person wait for MD to show up before starting a movie? Does shankar want anothr Boys-thulluvatho ilamai story? Definitely not. Shankar will go with any MD who is available.

Kris
4th May 2005, 09:20 AM
"If Mani is only grateful to IR (specially after Thalapathi), then there is no ARR (Roja)."

This is probably acceptable, not the other 2 - KB and BR. ARR had enough opportunities after Roja. Everybody wanted ARR after that.

No way ARR needed KB and BR to become ARR.

kbee
4th May 2005, 09:40 PM
Kris

Roja was Balachander's production. He was the one who wanted to move away from IR and NOT mani. Thats why I said KB.

During the initial years of ARR, it was BR, Mani and Shankar who blindly signed up for ARR.Others hesitated a little bit. BR used to be so loyal to IR and he changing to ARR was a total betrayel, but then it is "nandri ketta ulagam". Now BR is back to IR, but probably his movie carrier is almost over. BR is a guy who can give real native subject and movie and he going to ARR was a big mistake (again songs from Karuthamma, KV etc are very good, but does not go with the movies)

Then why cant all babies born be at the same place they were born!

Dude your just jealous IR LOST badly to the MAN of Tamil MUsic!

And the only reason Kamal sticks with IR is that IR is passive ! He allows Kamal to sing, prolly compose. and kamal likes showin off , and who knows he may feel he knows more than IR!

The point is that MR praised Ilayaraja when there was none of his films waiting to be released... Did he say something like that while waiting for AE, KM, AP, Uyire, Iruvar, Roja, Bombay to release? No man...

We are in a business world... To sell a product you have to publicise it and hype it. You cannot afford saying that it is not as good as the previous one. That is what Shanker has done... He has never criticized ARR... even in his last interview he said that Anniyan songs are not inferior to his previous films. He could have said that this is the best one among all his films but no. Look at the interviews he has given about the songs of Boys (Boom Boom going to be a national anthem!).
Anyway I feel sad that ARR did not work for Anniyan coz' I think that it is gonna be a great movie...
But I'm damn sure that the Shanker-ARR combo will be revived again!

The point is that MR praised Ilayaraja when there was none of his films waiting to be released... Did he say something like that while waiting for AE, KM, AP, Uyire, Iruvar, Roja, Bombay to release? No man...

It's a loss to music fans. Shankar's larger than life budgets for his bubble scripts has always propelled ARR to give more. I can't see some SJ.Surya or K.S.Ravikumar doing this. So, it's better they patch-up sooner than later.

I want to share this :D

The Randakka song of anniyan's starting beats are same as-------->kola puttu ponnae unna from Arasatchi

2. Arasatchi - the chant of arasatchi has the interlude from dont release me(bombay dreams) "nahi chodu na nahi chodu na" is used as sahodhara in arasatchi by HJ

3. HJ used the same humming of uyrin uyirea -kakka kakka , in arasatchi - 20 vayasu


so, all these make us to come to a desition that HJ is not even equal to ARR's hair. :D :D :D

SHankar made a worst destination

except 2 songs all anniyan songs are Junk
8)





adding to this...


1. Vasool Raja MBBS - Doctor song is an absolute copy from the film
NEW (the new song) entire song is the lift from arr's NEW
The ending beats of that song resembles B to the a of BABA
2. Yuvans 7g song( kan peasum vaarthai) starting is just like Kuchu Kuchu rakkamma in BOMBAY(listen first 2lines)



ARR is the God of Music :lol:

I cannot belive this!
Harris is plalying the role of Deva !
I thought that HJ has some more stuff comparing with others like deva,bharthwaj,VS,YSR etc

But, the Kadhal Yannai crushed everthing!!!!!

it is an absolute copy of The MACARINA song !
Anybody noticed that??
It is an exact lift !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if so, pls give quick blames on HJ:))

Hi friends,
Shankar's latest interview was aired on Jaya TV last Sunday in the morning. He did not speak one word about HJ even though the interview was on Anniyan. It was a nice interview. They split his name and one quality was assigned to each letter of his name. (S- success, H-hardwork, etc). Here is a translation of what he said on hard work. Its not word to word but i have conveyed what he wanted to say.


Hard Work.

Well, i am not anywhere close to hard work if you look at some of the others. AR Rahman is the epitome of hard work. When we record songs, i used to be very happy with it, but he used to say lets add something more. And ten minutes later it used to sound better and i used to say great sir, lets record it. But he used to refuse. I used to wonder how can you ever make this song better!?! But again after 10 minutes he used to add a small touch to the song and it will sound so beautiful. But he always asks my opinion and makes sure that i am satisfied as well. if i did not like a particular sound he will remove it promtly but that has happened only once. He keeps making a song better till he is totally satisfied. And lets talk about song mixing on the CD. Its the easiest job and musicians start the work at 11 AM and finish it in 2 hrs. But Rahman takes one or two days for that. He makes sure that the songs are mixed properly in the CD. He stays back to make sure it is done and never settles for anything less than perfect. Such a great maestro need not ask others for opinion but he always makes sure everyone including the sound engineer is happy. It is such simplicity and hard work that makes him the best ever composer in India. This is why he has taken Tamil Music to the world. Some great musicians have scored music and people have enjoyed and they have become famous. But this man has made sure that even a foreigner stops to listen to a Tamil Song! At the same time no Tamilian is unhappy. This requires not just pure genius but that hard work and down to earth nature. What a man!

Now i am not sure if they really have a problem. Maybe ARR just dint have the time and shankar had to prove himself after boys film dint do well. He would not have praised him soooooo much if they really had a fight. lets hope they get back soon. for the sake of each other, for the sake of tamil music industry.

any comments

Wasim.

Dinesh as you said, looks like there is no rift between the two. (IF the interview is not fabricated...I am hoping you watched it first hand). This is pretty good news. But as ARR himself said, people will give their best only when there is a competition(Healthy). So lets hope that this Anniyan was just a small detour Shankar took from his normal course :), as far as music goes.

"But he always asks my opinion and makes sure that i am satisfied as well. if i did not like a particular sound he will remove it promtly "

i think that's where ARR eats up IR and all other MD's......ARR is a master of decentralisation.........nuthin is centralised abt his works......he knows that musically sounding gr8 is less important than how it fits in the movie, that's y he respects director's opinion.....gr8 man with a ideal character.......

I agree !
ARR alone can make a hit!
He dont need any lyrics (EX. Dhol Dhol form AE)

But, I like VM's lyrics !

He enhances the tune by his great lyrics !
No other lyricist can do that!
he uses catchy words to make the song everlasting

the movie Anniyan is super. mindblowing!!!!!!

it will run a 200 days an more.

only minus point in the movie (frankly) is the music. it's a real let down. may b because v r so used to some of ARR's bests in Shankar's movies.

i say if Shankar used ARR. Anniyan (the movie of the year) would run a 200+100 days.
am sure of it

Shankar's feat of another kind
- 01.07.2005
Giving no room for doubts, the matter was finalized before the release of 'Anniyan.'

Ever since the film got released, there have been numerous offers for Shankar. One such offer has come from Chiranjeevi. The Telugu stars are keen to use technicians from Tamilnadu. The reason? Their talent, hard work, dedication and sincerity.



The top brass from Tamil films are also equally drawn to Andhra - for the good pay and good facilities.



While it is usual to make 150 prints of a Tamil film, it is a common practice to make a minimum of 300 prints in Andhra! So, the budget is more and the earnings are also more.




Shankar has just made a film for 25 crores. The budget for his next film also will be perhaps more, but no less than that. To make such a big budget film in Tamil with high expectations of profit, is like building a 5 star hotel in Kottaampatti! As of now, the only state that can afford such a big budget film is Andhra.



With all this in mind, Shankar is considering Chiranjeevi's offer. It is 90% confirmed that the hero of Shankar's next film is Chiranjeevi and the 40 crore budget will be borne by the company that produced 'Ennavaley.'



Shankar's fee for direction alone will be 5 crores. While this sum raises shocked exclamations from other directors, it's said that no other director in India has been offered such a big fee.



Not only his film, but his earnings are also a feat!
