[Big A]

My choices of MDs would be

ARR - Simply coz of the big banner, big director, big star
HJ - Shankar would prefer him, even Rajini might go for him
YSR - He is pretty good with the younger generation but for people like kamal and Rajini.. That would be a big test for him

Deva gave mindblowing music for batshah, annamalai etc.., Actualy music was on of the main strengths to those movies.. but him working with Shankar.. nah! never..

IR, rajini might prefer, even AVM, but shankar.. nah!

So, ultimately its gonna be the No.1 MD of TFM right now, ARR 8)

[brraverishhh]

Ohh. I just opened a new thread. I think admin can delete my thread.

I defintely think it will super MD ARR for SUper Star and Super director Shankar.

[S.T.D.]

MD????????

alaias,

Thanks.

Reagan,

It could be ARR, but who knows.. but prolly majority of the people would be hoping its arr .

TISK,

DUDE how can you forget Minsara Kanavu! :P


Probably we should start a poll on who the MD should be!

[brraverishhh]

My choice

First: ARR
Second: IR
Third: VS
Fourth: YSR
Fifth: HJ

I just pray that Bhardawaj who has done music for many AVM films, is not selected. That is my biggest fear. Deva is another MD I would prefer not to be selected..

Good analysis man. Of course ARR is my all-time favorite MD, and I would love him to compose music for my all-time favorite Superstar, with the biggest director in Tamil cinema. However, I differ from you in one aspect. If not ARR, I would prefer HJ, because he's the only one who's got the ARR style and touch. Not even IR or anybody else for that reason. The whole experience or ambience of the movie will be so different if either of these 2 dont compose the music...Just my personal thought...

[MannoFr]

Excellent post Movies.. I think ARR deserve to be in this project. I know last time, it was time constrain and also ARR was busy with LOTR project but now he has the time to compose music for Shankar and if Shankar wants this project to reach beyond TN then ARR would be an ideal choice. And I dont think IR would be a part of this project atleast for not composing songs. If IR could do the BGM of this movie then that would be an excellent choice.

[MannoFr]

I honestly hope IR doesnt have anything to do with this movie especially when it involves Shankar. If the director were different than IR would be apt choice since he's one of the best if not best.

[Big A]

Maddy,
VM suggested HJ to Shankar only when Shankar was looking at other choices.
After the rift between ARR and VM (KKKK), Shankar didn't ask VM to write for Boys. It was Vali, Kabilan and others. So ARR got the nod over VM. Now that they have patched up, if VM dictates terms he'll only be kicked out.

[Beerinkol]

If Rajni wants IR, IR will be obliged to accept (there is a clear change in IR's attitude recently).
If Rajni insists, Shankar will let him take the lead, he has nothing to lose.
Looks like neither Rajni nor Shankar nor AVM know who it is going to be and they don't seem to have worried about it as much as in this forum.
The script will decide if its going to be ARR or IR. Others will grab it if it comes their way.
If it is not going to be IR or ARR, then I'd rather prefer it was somebody new (I wouldn't mind KR, he deserves a break). It is time TFM found someone who would change the sound and feel of current music trend, if not this movie, let it be the next movie, but it has to be soon rather than later. Am bored of TFM.

[doctorzlo]

Another interesting fact is that, Shankar has said to be looking forward to work with A.R. Rahman soon with a mega project so who knows this is what he meant. A.R. Rahman himself has said in an interview that he will come up with a surprise package soon enough.

[Beerinkol]

bayrea,

Thanks .

HJ is a copy cat... lacks originality... look at anniyan... And one more thing... this is not going to be a shankar movie, it may not even be a rajni movie... it cud be something inbetween.... Only experience and true brains can handle it effectively... Who else has brains other ARR or IR... and if not either VS is versatile in comparison to the other MDs. VS is highly under rated largely due to the Media, he has talents, I dont see why he isnt being helped by media!

I realise HJ is a good possibility but ...... he is nothing more than a Deva... only difference deva atleast has a good percentage of original songs in comparison to copied songs!

Reagan,

i hope too!

The titans come together!

By Moviebuzz
Friday, 19 August , 2005, 17:11

The titans of Tamil film industry- superstar Rajnikanth and top director Shankar are coming together in a film to be produced by AVM, one of the oldest banners in Tamil.
This will be the biggest ever film made in South India and the deal was cemented today. Shankar has started work on the script of the film which will be released next year.

Said AVM Saravanan to Moviebuzz: “It will be our 168th film which will be released in our diamond jubilee year. By sheer coincidence, it will be Rajni’s 9th film with our banner and Shankar’s 9th film as a director”.

AVM has kickstarted the biggest ever film to be made in the history of Tamil films, which marks the coming together of the giants in the industry.The film is also important as it is Rajni’s next film after the stupendous success of Chandramukhi and Shankar’s next project after that record breaking Anniyan.

GREAT NEWS!!!

8) :P :

"6. Vairamuthu may be the black sheep in this decision making... "

Don't think VM has such an influence. He couldn't wag his tail with Mani(AE). I think it'll be the case with Rajni and Shankar. If he still wags, they'll cut it and ask Pa.Vijay and Vali to pen the lyrics.

[S.T.D.]

Reasons I beleive Rahman could be part of the project,

1. Shankar and ARR on good terms, shown by their behaviour during the A Ah audio
2. Ranjnis closest MD friends are ARR and Deva. So Rahman has a chance.
3. Last time AVM and Rahman came together Rahman made sure AVM had a hit with his music doing all the talking, and even fetched a few national award and national fame. When has AVM ever gone hindi they had the confidence in the music and went national.
4. In Sify I asked shankar will we see the dream triple combo of Indian Spielberg, SuperStar and Asain Mozart... shankar said in the future sometime yes....
5.This is a MEGA MOVIE, something that can be compared to only Mani Rajni and IR combo aka dhalapathi.... at that time IR was the legend now ARR is the legend
6.Shankar is yet to decide on script, so there is alotta time for ARR to come up with tunes, no hurry... and Rajni will be in no hurry as well. Rajni needs a hit thats all.
7. I think Rajni went to VS cause of time constrain and budget issues in CM... but remember his choice was rahman for jagu bhai.
8. This is gonna be the combo of the decade, they should choose the best!

Now the tricky part -- Reasons Rahman may not be part of this project.

1. It may be a big budget project, and maybe they may not be willing to pay rahman a hefty fees.
2. Rahman has too many projects at hand ( esp hindi ) thus rahman may not find time.
3 Too many chefs spoil a broth ... maybe shankar and arr realise that and may avoid the secret ingredient.
4. Maybe Rahman refused Rajnis CM because of the jagubhai ride so Rajni now hates Arr's guts.
5. Maybe Shankar and ARR are infact enemies.
6. Vairamuthu may be the black sheep in this decision making...

But whatever may be the case. This is a special project, If not Rahman, Shankar would be inclined to HJ, and Rajni will be inclined to IR or VS or Deva.

For me, if not ARR, Then IR. He deserves to be partof such an epic. If not him then VS.... he can do alot more than anniyan and CM..... he has proved it....

Not DEVA! NOT HJ! NOT Baradhwaj! NOT YSR!

Well.... whatya guys think...... I know ive contradicted a few of my for and against..... im just thinking of possibilities......

But my most genuine reason for thinkin ARR may not be part of it is the bugdget factor and call sheet factor.

"6. Vairamuthu may be the black sheep in this decision making... "

Don't think VM has such an influence. He couldn't wag his tail with Mani(AE). I think it'll be the case with Rajni and Shankar. If he still wags, they'll cut it and ask Pa.Vijay and Vali to pen the lyrics.

HJ was indeed recommended aggressively by VM for Minnale and ARR also joined in w/o knowing VM's intention of drowning ARR only.......VM is the prefect "kooda irundhu kuzhi parikara" case.....ARR, however taught him a good lesson later.....

I, being a ARR fan wud love ARR to be a part of this project.....but ARR's class takes a beating for Rajini.......also, shankar wud prefer HJ in my opinion than ARR as they have stuck a gud rythm......but take my word shankar wud never take IR as they r globes apart in their thinking....

but how come IR & ARR for this movie???? anyone thought abt this???it wud be dream come true for both camps.......

[radikal]

TAKE MY VERDICT ~ ITS GONNA BE A.R. RAHMAN TO COMPOSE MUSIC

How can you be so sure?? But I really really hope so....
