The Superstar has always been one among the first to offer his wishes and congratulations to the achievers and talented people. Be it Bala’s Naan Kadavul or the young team of Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu, Rajinikanth has always had few good things to say. But when A.R. Rahman won the Oscars, there was no news from Rajinikanth’s side offering his wishes. Rajini’s fans and Rahman’s fans have been wondering if the Superstar had conveyed his wishes to the Mozart of Madras.

Sources close to Rajini say that he may greet the musician in a proper platform such as the grand event organized by the Tamil Film Producers’ Council or at the function to held by the Music Directors’ Association.
With both Rajini and Rahman known for their simplicity, it is also possible that the former could have wished him earlier on phone, sms, email or in person away from the prying eyes of the media.
Meanwhile, we have news that Rajini’s friend had delivered a bouquet of flowers to A.R. Rahman when he was on his tour to a mosque in Andhra Pradesh.

A.R. Rahman with ‘2 Oscars’ for his ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ speaks…
Much before taking up the project, did you think ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ will win Oscars?
Not at all! I did my earnest best for the film. The film won awards…
How did you feel while receiving the award?
Nothing different from the feel I had while bagging award for ‘Roja’.
Did Director Mani Rathnam greet you?
While I had set to Los Angeles for awards, he greeted me. But then, after reaching Chennai I’ve been trying for his mobile, but he’s not reachable.
Is it true that you will tuning a new melody for ‘Tamizh Thai Vaazthu’?
Sure, once Vairamuthu completes penning lyrics, I will start composing melodies. Also we’re planning to tune ‘Thirukural’.
And now, being an ‘International Personality’ would you score music for new directors?
Definitely, why not. But they should be brimming with a good script and indeed the team should be good. If the film isn’t fine, audiences will throw even the music.
How come did you speak Oscars at Award Function?
It was an intrinsic feeling and my inner soul urged me to do so.
You have been composing for enormous films. Can you tell us which film did you think would fetch Oscars?
I was so confident that Aamir Khan’s ‘Lagaan’ would take on for a great show. Your opinion about criticisms of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’…
It’s only in our country we treat dogs so badly. But in foreign countries they are taken care as pets with more respect.
We heard that you’re going to come up with new plans in your Trust….
Surely, all my concern is about eradicating poverty throughout the World that none should struggle for their basic necessities.
How do you feel about Sri Lankan issue?
Not just in Sri Lanka, I always pray that there should be peace all throughout the globe and everyone should live happily without wars.
Any plans about getting into politics?
Oh!! (Laughs) Definitely not…
So, how would you like to connect ‘Oscars’ with ‘Tamil Cinema’ now?
At the moment, a strong bridge has been established between our Tamil Film Industry and ‘Oscars’. Youngsters inspired by this should go ahead fulfilling their dreams with the mantra ‘Nothing is impossible’…
Finally, A.R. Rahman lifting his Oscars for photo session thanked everyone for being supportive to him. He took off so gently with an enchanting smile…

‘Slumdog Millionaire’ Kid brutally beaten by father

Alas! The reality of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ was witnessed in LIVE by everyone in the slums of Bandra as well media channels. Actor Azharuddin Mohammad is whom we are talking about. Yeah! The same kid who donned the role of young Salim in Danny Boyle’s Oscar winning movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. The small boy returned Mumbai yesterday. He was so tired that he couldn’t get out of his hut and visit those who gathered outside his house for congratulating him.
As his father got frustrated over this, he started randomly beating up this young lad. Sooner, the neighbors who were shocked rushed to his house and calmed down the things. Later, the father apologized everyone for his misdeed and added he was out of control.
Azharuddin and his co-star Rubina dwelling the same slums were earlier promised by the Government of Maharastra that they would be granted with a new luxurious apartment and the location is yet unknown.
Let’s hope ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ brings more light on the kids who have been pathetically spending their lives across the slums.

Maddy’s Sexy Mama video in trouble

The “Sexy Mama” song for the film 13B has landed its producers Reliance Big Pictures in trouble. While the producers wanted a U/A certificate for the film, the Censor Board decided on Adults Only certificate because the word “sexy” is used too much in the song.

The Tamil version of 13B, Yaavarum Nalam still has the S word and it needs to be seen if the changes would reflect here.
