A.R.Rahman still not paid fully for Mangal Pandey
A.R.Rahman has been making his presence felt since the last few months with the music of The Rising and Rang De Basanti being greatly appreciated. However, surprisingly, the musician has still not been fully paid for his work in The Rising. It seems that only 15% of the amount due has been paid to Rahman. He received 10 lakhs which was to be paid to the Prague Orchestra. Considering that it was a big film, Rahman left no stone unturned to ensure that the quality of music is good.
After the release of the film, producer Bobby Bedi had said in a television interview that he had recovered the entire money invested in the film. Rahman is extremely selective about the work that he does. And he does not want to get cheated on the few projects that he does. Producer Bobby Bedi was not aware that there was any amount due. He stated that a lot of money had already been paid.
New Delhi, Feb. 26 (PTI): Water has been ruling Deepa Mehta's heart and mind since the movie was first pitched by Canada as its official entry for the Best foreign language film category in Oscars. The big Oscar night in Los Angeles is today and the lady is all prepared to walk down the red carpet in an antique tissue saree of her mother.
Meanwhile, whether she wins or not, Deepa has already set her eyes on projects beyond Water. The much-in-news issue of racism will be the theme of Deepa Mehta's next film titled 'Exclusion'. The film is based on an incident that occurred in early twentieth century known as 'Komagata Maru.' It deals with exclusion laws passed in Canada at that time to keep Asians at bay.
Though Deepa Mehta denies ever being a victim of racism herself, she agrees that the menace is a reality and according to her it is related to "economy". "There was a time when the west didn't consider the Arabs white, but today they do, since Arabs are rich today", she says.
"Racism hasn't got to do with the colour of your skin, rather its whether you belong to a developed world or not" adds Deepa. Asked if she thought if Shilpa Shetty was a victim of racism in the 'Celebrity Big Brother', she gives a definitive yes.
Coming back to 'Exclusion' in which Deepa would be directing Amitabh Bachchan, Deepa says, "I am still writing the film, it will go on floor only after that, John and Seema will be there in my film, and A R Rehman will be giving the music".
And while Deepa is writing Exclusion, there is something else that is coming from the director's kitty, a film titled 'The Julia Project'. "Its a film by Universal Pictures, I will be just directing the film. The Julia Project is a story set in America after the civil war, its story of an American girl falling in love with a Korean", says Deepa about the movie.
Speaking of the film 'Water', when she first started Water seven years ago it became a target of religious fundamentalism forcing her to stop the project.
With a changed star cast and a changed location Deepa made what she says "a better Water".
"We retained the original screenplay, the location was changed though. From Varanasi we moved to Sri Lanka, but no we didn't tried to recreate Varanasi, it was not possible. The place we depict is somewhere near Indo-Bangla border in 1938", she says.
Talking of the universal appeal of the film Deepa says "Even though the film is based in India, every country has a group of people who have been marginalised, Water also deals with one such group(widows), so people will relate to the film."
" What makes Water most special is my beleif in the subject. First time I saw the widow ashrams on a visit to India, I knew I had to make a film on these women," says Deepa.
Coming to the Oscar ceremony it's not the flashbulbs or the red carpet that Deepa is thinking about -- all that she is looking forward to is the company she will be in at the event. "I'm really looking forward to meeting all the people at the Oscars,".

Professional association doesn't have anything to do with your convictions and belief (That's the reason why I felt Raja shud've worked in Periyar)
Let's accept that arr is gonna get a better exposure with deepa mehta as a director (whether she's worth being noted in international circles or not is a different issue. Even pandit Ravishankar is known in Intern'l circles - it doesn't mean anything) and it is good for him. If we are from this part of the world, your talent alone doesn't matter. Whom you associate with also matters most to get the right visibility. This is where Raja lacks, and I'm happy that arr isn't making that mistake.
And losing at the Oscsrs is still a lot more honorable than winning the coterie driven filmfare award [ where the likes of HrithikRoshan wins the best actor award for an abysymal movie dHOOM 2!!!]
